228 PROCEEDINGS OF THE OHIO ACADEMY OF SCIENCE. 



During the year the Library has conducted the sales business of the 

 Academy, having received $30.45. This amount has been turned over to 

 the Treasurer of the Academy. 



During the year the Library bound the volumes of the Academy of 

 Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. This is a set for- which there has been 

 some demand and from which several numbers were missing. These 

 parts were secured through the kindness of the Secretary, at Philadelphia. 



Only one publication appeared during the year, viz. : the Report of 

 the Twenty-fourth Meeting. This was distributed within a few days 

 after its receipt from the printers. In so doing, the Library has a sten- 

 ciled list cut for the membership of the Academy, and said list is now on 

 file in the mailing department of the University. 



During the year all correspondence which has been received has been 

 answered promptly and is on file in the Library. It consisted largely in 

 requests for -publications. 



The Library was somewhat surprised to find out how little use is 

 made of the Library of the Academy, as deposited with us. It would 

 seem that the membership of the Academy would find things of value 

 in this collection. We mention this at this time in the hope that during 

 the coming year there will be a more extensive use of the Library of the 

 Academy of Science made, and also of the inter-library loan privileges of 

 the University Library. 



Respectfully submitted, 



C. W. Reeder, 

 For the Ohio State University Library.
