26 ILLINOIS ACADEMY OF SCIENCE 
There are at the present date 73 members in good standing 
who have been notified twice within the last four months of 
dues unpaid, who have as yet not responded. 180 members 
have paid 1916 dues, from which it would appear that we have 
approximately 260 members in good standing.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 
In accordance with instructions given at the Fifth Annual 
meeting of the Academy as recorded on page 19, Volume V 
of Transactions, the Curator of the State Museum has been 
acting as custodian of the surplus volumes of the Academy 
Transactions and of the books and pamphlets received from 
other Academies of Science, educational institutions and indi- 
vidual workers in exchange for our publications sent out. 
The plan adopted for exchanges has been to charge all 
parties 75c for unbound and $1.00 for bound copies of all 
volumes, except Volumes IV and V, which were published 
by the State at no expense to the Academy. Our Treasurer has 
the record of the volumes so disposed of, 
Volumes IV and V have been sent without charge to per- 
sons requesting them. 
When libraries or other institutions have offered valuable 
publications in exchange they have been supplied with all vol- 
umes without charge. 
The policy of your Librarian in general is to in every way 
promote the financial welfare of the Academy. 
There now remains in stock the following copies of the 
various volumes: 
Vol. I., unbound, 166; bound, 9. 
Vol. IL., unbound, 629, bound, 6. 
Vol. III., unbound, 641, bound, 20. 
Vol. IV., unbound, 438. 
Vol. V., unbound, 626; bound, 71. 
Vol. VI., unbound 252.
