Library. 



The Library consisted of several hundred volumes, including Voyages, Travels, standard works on Zoology, 

 Botany, Chemistry, Transactions and Proceedings of Societies, &c. These were either supplied by the 

 Admiralty, or were the property of the Scientific Staff. It does not appear that any useful purpose would be 

 served by giving a list of these books.
