members of the Association. Favourable notices of the last 

 volume have appeared in very many of the leading scientific and 

 local journals, and it may fairly be asserted that the Association 

 Transactions will, on the whole, bear comparison very favourably 

 with those of most of the County Societies of England and Scot- 

 land. 



Copies of the Transactions of various Associations and local 

 Societies are now being received in exchange for our own, and, in 

 course of time, a Reference Library will be formed, which, it is 

 hoped, may prove of considerable value to the members of the 

 Association.
