The Librarian is once more indebted to Mr. Jas. Reid for 

 his kindness and valuable help in taking stock of the Library, 

 and reporting on it, as he has done twice during the past year. 

 From his Report, dated lOth Jan., 1890, it appears that the 

 loans of works from the Library during the year 1889 numbered 

 seventy-four, and there were still with the borrowers eleven 

 works, all of which are within the period allowed by the Rules, 

 viz., three months. 



The following books were found missing from the shelves, 

 and not entered in the loan book, viz. : — 



Huxley's Physiography, 1880. 



Pulteney's Sketches of the progress of Botany, 2 Vols., 1790.
