XXIII— From The Canadian Institute, through Mr. R. F. Sruparr. 
The Canadian Institute, which was incorporated by royal charter 
in 1849, has, during more than fifty years, been exchanging publications 
with societies in nearly every civilized country in the world, and to-day 
possesses a library which is unique in character and of very great value 
to scientific investigators and students. 
The building in which this library is at present housed is not fire- 
proof and also provides accommodation quite inadequate for the general 
purposes of the institute; in view of these facts, the council has 
under consideration a scheme for obtaining the funds necessary either 
for enlarging the present building or erecting another, and it is hoped 
that this desirable end may be achieved.
