LIBRARIAN'S REPORT. 



Ladies and Gentlemen of the Academy: — The Librarian 

 begs leave to offer the following report : 



By exchange and contributions only, the library has been in- 

 creased during the past year over nineteen hundred volumes, besides 

 a large number of newspapers. It now contains, including over 

 nine hundred volumes on deposit by some of the members, about 

 six thousand volumes and pamphlets. These constant accessions 

 are crowding us very much, and more shelf-room is needed 

 immediately, which could be added at the small expense of from 

 $6.00 to $8.00. 



As the books and periodicals are chiefly consulted at the rooms, 

 the number on the list of books taken out but feebly represents the 

 number really used during the year. 



The library contains publications sent in exchange from almost 

 every country on the globe in which a scientific society exists. 

 Respectfully submitted. 



Julia E. Sanders, Librarian.

 with the following result :
