include nearly all the Scottish Societies of importance which issue 

 Transactions. Several volumes have been gifted to the Library 

 from various members and friends, and to these we owe our 

 thanks. 



" The usual number of additions, by purchase, have been made 

 during the session. 



" During the summer months one of our Life Members presented 

 to the Library sufficient funds to procure the reproduction of a 

 book-plate for our books. The original of this was artistically 

 drawn by one of our members, Mr. John Fleming. This has now 

 been placed in most of our volumes. We owe our grateful thanks 

 to both of these gentlemen for their kindness in so benefiting 

 the Library. 



" The attention of members is again called to the stock of 

 Foreign and Colonial Transactions housed in the Mitchell 

 Library, which may be consulted or borrowed at any time during 

 the open hours of the Library. Members are also reminded that 

 books may be consulted or borrowed from our own Library, at 

 any time during the day, on application to Mr. Martin, the 

 Curator. The books in the Library are all in good condition. 

 The Transactions and Magazines are all bound up to date."
