HON. LIBRARIAN'S REPORT FOR 1901. 



I am pleased to report a slight increase noticeable in the use which has been made of the Library, 

 an increase which it is to be hoped will steadily continue. 



Our Library now contains more than 1,200 volumes, besides a valuable collection of pamphlets. 

 It is an especially serviceable Library, almost invaluable to workers in all branches of Natural History. 

 Photo^aphers will also find the books of instruction very helpful and thoroughly up to date. 



There is a card catalogue of the books to render reference easier, and also special indexes. The 

 books are available for the use of the members at all times when the Reference Library is open, viz. : — 

 11.0 a.m. to 1.0 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 30 p.m. daily except Wednesday, when it is closed all the day. 



The following gifts to the Library are acknowledged with the best thanks of the Society to the 

 donors, viz. : — *' The Entomologist," from Miss Kingstord ; " Nature," from G. Kigden, Esq. ; " Meteor- 

 ological Register for Canterbury," from B. Rigden, Esq. ; " The Photogram," from S. "W. Harvey, Esq. ; 

 *' Amateur Photographer," from the Publishers. 



The following reports, etc., have been received from other Societies in exchange relations with 

 ours : — Smithsonian Institution (U.S.A.), 3 ; Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Society, 

 Missouri Botanical Garden, National Museum of Buenos Ayres, Institute of Geology (Mexico), Field
