There is a large accnmnlation of books and periodicals 

 that require binding, and as many of the books will be 

 transferred to the shelves in the new room, this would be 

 an opportune time for having the binding done. 



Many important works have been purchased for, or pre- 

 sented to, the Library during the year ; amongst them may 

 be named the splendid publication being issued by the 

 Government, entitled a " Report on the Scientific Results of 

 the Voyage of H. M.S. 'Challenger.'" 13 volumes have now 

 been received on Zoology and one volume on Physics and 

 Chemistry. 



The " Fauna und Flora des Golfes von Neapel," vol, VIII, 

 and the second part of the third volume of " A Treatise on 

 Chemistry." Two periodicals have been added during the 

 year, the " Illustrated Science Monthly," and " The Ameri- 

 can Naturalist."
