158 TRANSACTIONS, NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY OF GLASGOW. 
E. M. Holmes, F.L.S., Richard M‘Kay, and A. Somerville, B.Sc., 
F.L.S., for donations of books to the Library. 
The collection of Scientific Transactions and Journals recently 
transferred to the Mitchell Library has now been made available 
for reference, and it is hoped that this privilege will be largely 
taken advantage of by the Society. 
Proceedings and Transactions.—V ol. III. (New Series), Part 3, 
was published in November, thus bringing the issue down to the 
end of Session 1891-92. Voi. IV., Part 1, relating to Session 
1892-93, is now in course of preparation. 
British Association.—The Society continues to be enrolled on 
the Corresponding List of the British Association. On the 
occasion of the recent Conference of Delegates, held at Notting- 
ham, it was found impossible to arrange for the Society being 
represented, but the Council trust that this difficulty will not 
again be experienced. 
The Treasurer (Mr. John Renwick) submitted an audited 
Statement of Accounts for the year ending 3lst August, which 
showed a, balance of £32 9s. 24d. at the credit of the Society, 
exclusive of (1) £100 invested on Debenture, (2) £15 10s. on 
Deposit Receipt, and (53) value of books and other property 
insured for £300.

library and the circulation of books.
