The Publications of the year consist of three parts of

ordinary prices at which these volumes are sold to the 
public amounts generally to upwards of Three Pounds in

The publications cannot be sent out by post, but are 
delivered to Subscribers free of expense at any address 
within the metropolitan districts. 
3. LIBRARY. 
It having been found impracticable to keep the Society’s 
extensive Zoological Library in good working order under 
existing arrangements, it was determined by the Council 
during the course of the past year to appoint a third clerk 
in the office, whose principal business it should be to at- 
tend to this important branch of the Scientific establish- 
ment. This measure has, as the Council believe, proved 
quite successful, and has been of much convenience to the 
working zoologists who resort to the Library for refer- 
ence. 
Besides the purchased additions, the Society’s Library 
has received, since the last Anniversary, Transactions and 
Proceedings from the following Institutions :—
