236 Proceedings of the Ohio Academy of Science 
1921, and later reissued with additions as part six of volume seven of 
the Proceedings of the Academy. Copies of this number were mailed 
to every person on the membership list, and to the seventy-one scientific 
societies on the exchange list. 
2. The sale of publications during the year has been above the 
average, the amount received being $37.00. This sum has been turned 
over to the treasurer. 
3. Since the members of the Academy are interested in the develop- 
ment of library resources in the natural sciences, the Committee wishes 
to take this opportunity to call attention to several very notable addi- 
tions to the collections of the Ohio State University Library made 
during the year: 
(a) Academie des Sciences (Paris) Memoires, 1666-1770. 
(b) Academie Imperiale des sciences de Saint Petersbourg 
Memoires et bulletin. Complete to date. 
(c) K. Akademie der Wissenschaften (Vienna) Denkschriften 
philosophisch-historische Klasse, v. 1-62, 1850-1918. 
Sitzungsberichte philosophisch-historische Klasse, v. 1-180, 
1847-48—1915-16. 
The Library already owns the Denkschriften and Sitzun- 
berichte of the Mathematisch-naturwissenschaftliche 
Klasse. 
(d) Annales des sciences naturelles, zoologie et botanique, 
1824-1908 in 316 volumes. (This is one of the three 
complete sets in the United States). 
(e) Biologia Centrali—Americana; or, Contributions to the 
knowledge of the fauna and flora of Mexico and Central 
America; ed. by F. D. Godman and Osbert Salvin, 
63 v. 1879-1915. 
(f) Journal of Botany, British and foreign, v. 1-46, 1863-1908. 
(g) Linnean Society of London, Transactions, 1791-1916,

1915. ; 
(i) Zoological Society of London. Transactions, v. 1-20, 
1833-1915. 
Needless to say, all members of the Academy are welcome, not 
only to the use of these new sets, but also to all the sources in the 
scientific field which are owned by the University Library. 
Very respectfully, 
C. W. REEDER, 
For the Committee.
