During the year the Librarian has set aside an alcove in the new- 

 library of the Ohio .State Archaeological and Historical Society, and the 

 exchanges of the Academy as far as possible have been placed in this 

 alcove. The greater part of the spare time of the Librarian has been 

 devoted to arranging the sets of the various publications received in 

 exchange and the entire library is now in shape for the members of the 

 Academy to make use of whenever they find it to their advantage to do so. 



An itemized list of the publications on hand might be of special inter- 

 est at this time. This inventory was, made November 24, 1914, and we 

 find that special paper No. 15, "The Trees of Ohio", is the lowest one on 

 the list, having only 25 copies. This was occasioned by the rapid sale 

 during the last few years of this publication. The next lowest one is No. 

 13, "The Protozoa of Sandusky Bay and Vicinity", having 36 copies of 

 this publication. Beginning with special paper No. 1, the Academy has 

 229 copies, and special paper No. 19, 235 copies. (With the exception of 

 Nos. 13 and 15 the Academy has on hand at least 150 copies of each special 

 paper. Secretary.) 



Of the Annual Reports, we have on hand quite a number, beginning 

 with the First Annual. By good fortune, I have been able, within the 

 last few days, to secure quite a number of the First Annual Report without 

 cost, and, at the present time, there are more than 100 of these reports on 

 hand, and I feel that eventually, these early numbers can be increased 

 by careful watch upon the second-hand book stores in the vicinity of the 

 University, as well as other parts of the city. The lowerst number of 

 the Annual Reports, outside of the First Annual Report, is No. 15, having 

 144 of these reports on hand. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Wm. C. Mills, 



Librarian.
