REPORT OF THE LIBRARY COMMITTEE. IGl 



For full information as to the volumes presented, the additions 

 to the li))rarj during the past year, and the pei'iodicals subscribed 

 for by the Society, reference may be had to the lists accompanying 

 this report. 'Your Committee refer with great pleasure to the 

 assistance that has been derived from the constant attention of the 

 Librarian, Edwin ^Y. Buswell, to all matters appertaining to the 

 library. It is owing to his uniform courtesy that the library is 

 made so accessible and useful to the members, and his constant 

 attention to the wants of those visiting the library room in search 

 of botanical information conduces much to the usefulness of the 

 Society.
