SCIENTIFIC PERIODICAL LITERATURE 

 COMMITTEE. 



(See Vol. XIII., p. LIX.) 



Report {W . S. Dun, Secretary/). 



The names of Dr. Hall, of Melbourne, and Mr. Howchin, of 

 Adelaide, were added to the committee. 



Communication was established between members of the com- 

 mittee in the different States, and several meetings were held in 

 Sydney. 



Since the appointment of your committee there has appeared 

 a second edition of a complete " Catalogue of the Natural Science 

 and Technical Periodicals in the libraries in Melbourne " com- 

 piled by Dr. T. S. Hall, one of the members of the committee. So 

 tar as Victoria is concerned, therefore, the work contemplated in 

 the appointment of the committee has practically been accom- 

 plished, although it is possible that a short supplement embodying 

 any periodicals in private possession, but not in public libraries, 

 might with advantage be prepared. 



Your committee also has to report that a card catalogue of 

 periodical literature in Sydney is in course of preparation at the 

 Public Library of New South Wales. This scheme, when com- 

 pleted, will form an important instalment of the work contem- 

 plated by your committee. 



The libraries in New South Wales, which are so far being ex- 

 ploited for the purposes of a periodical catalogue, are the follow- 

 ing:— 



Public Library (and Mitchell Library). 



University. 



Australian Museum. 



Botanic Gardens. 



Linnean Society, New South Wales. 



Royal Society, New South Wales. 



Department of Mines. 



Department of Agriculture. 



Department of Public Health. 



Observatory. 



Technical College. 



British Medical Association. 



Technological Museum.
