The Library of the Club continues to receive many valuable 
additions from the U.S. Geological Survey and from other 
societies with which a mutual exchange of publications takes 
place. Owing to the many alterations effected in the Literary 
and Scientific Institution during the past year, an arrangement 
has been made with the authorities, whereby, for the annual 
payment of £5, the Field Club has secured the use of the 
Lecture Hall for its Afternoon Meetings and of the Conversation 
Room for the Annual, Quarterly and Committee Meetings. In 
this latter room the Library will be placed, so that the books 
will be more accessible to the members than they have hitherto 
been. The members also of the Institution have the privilege of 
referring to, but not of taking them away. From the annual 
statement of accounts appended, it will be seen that there is a 
balance in favour of the Club of only 6d. This may be 
accounted for by the exceptional expenditure arising from the 
subscription of £5 towards the Scarth Memorial Window, erected 
in St. Mary’s, Bathwick, and from the sum of £9 expended in 
the purchase of an oak bookcase, items which will not occur 
again.
