Library.—The Hon. Librarian (Mr. James Mitchell) gave a 
favourable report on the position of the Library. The number of

importance and interest to the members of the Society was the 
preparation of a new Catalogue of the Library, of which a proof- 
copy was laid on the table. The compilation of the Catalogue was 
undertaken by the Rev. G. A. Frank Knight, M.A., who had 
received important assistance from Mr. Richard M‘Kay, while 
the cost had been defrayed by Mr. Duncan Mackinnon, a Life 
Member of the Society. 
The reports were all unanimously approved of and adopted.
