LIBRARIAN'S REPORT. 



Although 120 books and serials have been lent out during 

 the past year, showing a slight increase, yet only a few of the 

 Members make use of the Society's Library. 



The splendid collection of 328 volumes, presented to the 

 Society last year by Mr. J. E. Haselwood, includes a number of 

 books of which the Society already contained copies ; it has 

 therefore been decided that duplicates shall be valued and offered 

 to Members for Sale. 



The publications of the Smithsonian Institution, received by 

 exchange, have this year included Part i of an important Mono- 

 graph on the American Hydroids, and Part 4 of the Fishes of 

 Northern and Central America. 



The 9th and last volume of Buckler's monumental work on 

 the Larvae of British Lepidoptera, published by the Ray Society, 

 has been received.
