 LIBRARIAN'S REPORT. 



The recent great increase in the number of books borrowed 

 by members has not been maintained during the past year, the 

 whole number taken out amounting to 180, slightly under that 

 reported on the last occasion. It is intended to issue a new 

 catalogue during the forthcoming year ; about 100 works have 

 been acquired since the existing catalogue was published in 1886. 



Beyond the serial publications to which the Society sub- 

 scribes, there has been no purchases during the past year. The 

 Society has to thank Mr. W. J. Smith for the gift of a catalogue 

 of Works, Papers &c., on the Geology of Australia and Tasmania, 

 by Etheridge and Jack, and Mr. H. Willett for a continuance 

 of his kind presentation of the Quarterly Journal of the 

 Geological Society.

No meeting was held during March owing to the Soir6e 

 of the Society. 



The excursions last summer being poorly attended, your 

 Committee recommend that the Section excursions be amal- 

 gamated with the excursions of the Society for the coming 

 season. 



Your Committee feel that the part taken by the members 

 of this Section, contributed in no small degree to the admitted 

 success of the Soiree given by the Society.
