xvi Annual Report. [February, 1915. 
Archeology, for, except for the Society’s library, very little 
literature on these subjects is available in Calcutta. 
Mr. H. Beveridge has presented a copy of an abstract of 
the ‘* Amal Salih’’ and the Council has decided to have the 
manuscript typed and bound and placed in the Library. 
It has also been decided to repair all the book-cases, some 
of which had fallen into a bad condition. The work has 
already been taken in hand. 
e preparation of a catalogue of the scientific serials 
available in Calcutta is progressing favourably. Slips contain- 
ing particulars of the available periodicals have now been 
received from nearly all the principal libraries in the city. 
The work of compilation will shortly be taken in hand, and it 
is hoped that the catalogue will be published during 1915. 
hen issued it is expected that the catalogue, in addition to 
its more obvious utility to scientific students, will prove of 
value in preventing different libraries from overlapping, that is 
to say, from purchasing expensive sets of volumes which may 
be consulted elsewhere in Calcutta. It should also encourage 
the acquisition of missing parts and of serials which are un- 
obtainable, and it is hoped that funds will be forthcoming to 
enable the Society to take the lead in this respect. 
uring the year the Council appointed Mr. S. W. Kemp, 
Honorary Librarian to the Society, with a seat on the Publica- 
tion Committee.

1-8) containing 500 pages and 38 plates.

Nos. Sand‘), Vol. V, No. 2) containing 290 pages and 6 plates.

Exchange of Publications. 
During 1914, the Council accepted only one application for 
exchange of publications, viz.: from the Orenbourg Scientific 
Archives Society, their ‘‘ Travaux de la Commission Scienti- 
fique des Archives d’Orenbourg’’ for our Journal and Pro- 
ceedings. The Orenbourg Society has been asked if thev could 
supply a complete set of the back volumes of their publications 
in exchange for 22 volumes of oe 
yet been received. our Journal, but no reply ha
