No. 4.] REPORT OF LIBRARIAN. 203 



Pamphlets. 

 In addition to the bound volumes referred to, there is in 

 the library quite a number of pamphlets on various subjects, 

 many of which pamphlets are of considerable value. As yet 

 no special classification has been attempted, other than to 

 separate them according to subject matter and place them in 

 the drawers under the book shelves. It is thought, however, 

 that some of these pamphlets may be advantageously bound 

 in volumes.

 lished in the interest of agriculture, horticulture, forestry,
