REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN AND CURATOR 



for the Year Ending 31st op August, 1896, 



The number of volumes added to the Library during the year was nineteen of which 

 nine were exchanges bound for the Society ; the others being received from various 

 sources, already bound. 



The most important of these were 



The Missouri Botanical Garden. 



The Year Book of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. 



The Report of the N. Y. State Entomologist : Dr. Lintner. 



The Report of the Gypsy Moth Commission. 



The Proceedings of the Royal Society of Canada. 



The Fifteenth Annual Report of the U. S. Geological Survey. 



Acknowledgement is due to John Hamilton, M.D., Allegheny, Pa., for two volumes 

 of his Coleoptera papers. 



The whole number of volumes on the Library register is now 1,418. 



A full set of the annals of the " Entomological Society of France," was obtained, in 

 exchange for a full set of the publications of the Entomological Society of Ontario. 



The number of volumes issued to local members was seventy-three. 



But slight addition was made to the Society's native collection during the year ; 

 most of the new material obtained being yet undetermined. 



Respectfully submitted, 



J. Alston Moffat, 



Librarian and Curator.
