242 FIFTY-FIFTH ANNUAL EEPORT. 



arrange for the loan and return of books in the Club's Library. 

 In previous years it was possible to make fifteen attendances for 

 this purpose, but during 1920 the Library could only be used on 

 eleven occasions. This circumstance, and the time needed to 

 visit South Kensington, have naturally caused a certain decrease in 

 the number of books borrov/ed. About eighty volumes have 

 been loaned and exchanged, and this response shows that the 

 kindness of the President, Dr. A. B. Rendle, in permitting the 

 use of the new Herbarium for this purpose, is gratefully appre- 

 ciated. 



The removal to South Kensington rendered necessary certain 

 alterations to the doors, fitting and supplying new keys, and other 

 services, all very generously given by Mr. J. Ofiord. 



The Librarian desires further to express his personal thanks 

 to Mr. F. W. Woodman, who gave valued assistance in dusting 

 and arranging the books during the last months of the year 1919, 

 a task occupying several days.
