 The number of Works belonging to the Library of the Canadian Institute 

 amounts at present to nearly two thousa id volumes. Many of these works consist 

 of expensive and valuable books of reference ; and as the entire Library has now 

 been re -arranged and catalogued by the zealous exertions of Professor Croft, the 

 Honorary Librarian appoiqted at the last election of Officers, it affords to Mem- 

 bers a readily available source of information — of a character not likely to be 

 found in ordinary libraries — on various subjects of both special and general inte- 

 rest. It may not be amiss to repeat here, as stated in the last Report, that 

 a book has been opened, in which Members can enter the title of any work they 

 may wisli to recommend to the Council for purchase. 



The specimens presented to the Museum of the Institute since the date of the 

 last Report, are enumerated in the following list ;
