LIBRARIAN’S REPORT. 
The year just concluded has been marked by events of 
considerable interest. The accessions to the Library during the 
year have been numerous and valuable, though on the whole less 
remarkable than in 1890-91, when vols. 15-23 of the Challenger 
Expedition Reports were among the purchases. These recent 
accessions include :— 
Anderson: Anatomical and Zoological Results of the Yunann 
Expedition. 
« A Son of the Marshes”: Within an Hour of London Town. 
Carpenter: The Microscope, edited by Dallinger. 
Clerke, Agnes: History of Astronomy in the 19th Century.

Cooke: Fungi. 
Guillemin: Electricity and Magnetism. 
Hatch: Petrology. 
Hudson: The Naturalist in La Plata. 
Jennings: Photo-Micrography. 
Mendeleef: Principles of Chemistry. 
Mills: Photography Applied to the Microscope. 
» Interior Photography. 
Nautical Almanack for 1892-5.

Also a number of Photographic Books purchased from Mr. Fox. 
The number of borrowers has decidedly increased. After 
steadily falling in past years, down even to 80, it rose in 1890-91 
to 114, and in the past year has reached 178. It is hoped that 
the exhibition at the ordinary meetings of new acquisitions to — 
the Library will draw more attention to the valuable books at 
the service of the members, and will cause more general use of 
’ the Library.
