BretuHuneE-BakeEr, and a Library Committee under the chair- 
manship of Mr. J. H. Durrant, with extremely satisfactory 
results. The standard of attendance at these Committees 
has been remarkably high, and the Council is greatly indebted 
to those Fellows who have so ably assisted by serving on 
them. 
The Council also wishes to express its thanks to Mr. WHEELER 
for having compiled an index to the Standing Orders of Council 
covering the period of 10 years to February 1921. This index 
will be kept up to date for the future. 
The LrprartiaNn reports that the year under review has been 
one of transition for the Library, and that much still remains 
to be carried out before a really satisfactory state of its affairs 
can be said to have been reached. 
Early in the year the books were transferred from Chandos 
Street, and, while they have been placed approximately in 
the same relative positions as in the old quarters, the oppor- 
tunity has been taken to separate and classify under countries 
the whole of the very large series of periodicals; this at once 
renders them easy of access, which had not been the case for 
many years past. The Hon. Librarian regrets that he has 
not been as free as he expected, and has thus been unable to 
devote as much time to the Library as he hopes to do during 
the coming year. Still much work has been done in that 
every volume can be seen without removing a whole row of 
books, which was often inevitable in the old quarters. It 
will have been observed that it is now possible to display all 
the current magazines and additions on the Library table, 
that all the ordinary catalogues and books of very general 
reference are placed together in the new fitment for the general 
Catalogue of the Library, and that most of the Separata, of 
which the Society possesses a very large number, are now 
much more accessible than formerly. 
By donation and purchase 135 Volumes have been added 
with some 273 Separata and Reports. A list of these, to- 
gether with the accessions for 1920, which it was found 
impossible to include in the Transactions for last year, has 
been prepared and will appear in Part V of the Transactions 
for 1921.
