as a general rule that where a series is tolerably complete as seen from the 

 catalogue, all was at some time seat us; and thirdly, many societies entitled 

 to them, lack our transactions in whole or in part. 



To give an idea of the size of our library which began but ten years ago, 

 I will state that it crowds about 100 feet of shelving. 



All complete volumes are either bound and labelled or are in process of 

 binding. 



The catalogue includes no publications received later than Jan. 1, 1883, at 

 which time new officers, including librarian, had entered upon their duties. 



Foreign exchanges are effected through the mediation of the Smithsonian 

 Institution, Washington, D. C. 



It IS customary with most foreign societies to send with each donation a 

 printed notice and a blank form lor acknowledgment, to be returned to the 

 donor signed. I would recommend that with the donations made in connec- 

 tion with this volume, we have something similar printed which shall con- 

 tain a list of our publications, from which all those parts received by the 

 societiei may be checked off. The returned slip will enable us to give said 

 societies its lacking volumes. In this connection, we might also send list of 

 parts lacking in our library to the society concerned. 

 Respectfully submitted, 



Julius Nelson, Clerk for 

 B. A. BiRGE, Librarian.
