Ixxxvi PROCEEDINGS. 



The Report of the LIBRARIAN was presented by PROP. J. G. 

 MACGREGOR. During the past year copies of the Transactions had been 

 sent for the first time to 6 institutions in the United States, 3 in Canada, 

 2 in Germany, and 1 in England, and exchanges had been received for 

 the first time from, the following : 



Swedish Society for Anthropology and Geography, Stockholm. 



Central Observatory, Xalapa, Mexico. 



Natural Science Society, Carlsruhe. 



Natural Science Society, Elberfelcl. 



Geographical Union of the North of France, Douai. 



University of Vermont, Burlington, Vt. 



Museum and Library of Filopenas, Filopenas. 



Literary and Philosophical Society, Liverpool, G. B. 



Royal Society of the Natural Sciences, Buda-Pest. 



But few books had been bound owing to a lack of funds, consequent upon 

 our having published in one year two annual Parts of the Transactions. 

 Owing to lack of accommodation at the Post Office building it had been 

 found necessary to remove the Canadian and Australian publications to 

 the room courteously furnished at Dalhousie College by the Board of 

 Governors. The only sections of the Library now at the Post Office 

 building are the British and United States publications. The members 

 had not made so much use of the Library as in other recent years, 

 doubtless because of the increasing difficulty in gaining access to the 

 books. 



A vote of thanks was presented to MR. BOWMAN and PROF. 

 MACGREGOR for their work in connection with the Library. 



The following officers were elected for the ensuing year (1896-7) :
