1891. | REPORT OF LIBRARIAN. 119 
have promised exchanges at an early date, and we may confidently 
expect a considerable addition to the library from this source. 
Relative to the foreign exchanges it may be stated that it is too 
early to receive returns from them. 
All exchanges received to date have been acknowledged, and 
deposited at the Library, at the disposal of the Librarian. 
LIBRARIAN’S REPORT. 
The Librarian, Miss Mary E. MacauLey, transmitted a report on 
the condition of the library, from which the following is extracted : 
“The small size of the library is due * * to the fact that until the 
last year the Academy published none of its proceedings for exchange, 
the few papers printed being mainly for local distribution. During 
the past few months the accessions have become sufficiently numerous 
to warrant the belief that the Academy will soon possess a creditable 
and valuable library.”
