 Gentlemen, 



The Library Committee beg to report that during the 

 past year the work of sorting and arranging the parts and 

 numbers of exchanges and periodicals belonging to the 

 Society has been completed. One hundred and eleven 

 volumes are now ready for the binder, and efforts are being 

 made to obtain the parts required to complete about twenty 

 other volumes, of which parts are missing. 



Progress has been made in locating and noting in the 

 catalogue the books on the south side of the library, but 

 this work cannot well be finished till the books waiting to 

 be bound be returned from the binder. 



It was arranged at the special meeting of the Council, 

 held on May 27th, 1889, that the periodicals and other 

 works received in exchange for the Record of Science should 

 be received and acknowledged by the Librarian. This has 

 been done, and the works received immediately placed in 

 the case for the use of members. 



The Committee beg to acknowledge the following dona- 

 tions, for which, in the name of the Society, they desire to 

 thank the donors : — 



" Winchell's Pre-Adomites," from Mrs. E. P. Hannaford. 



" New Species of Fossil Sponges," from Sir J. W. Dawson. 



" Cretaceous Eocks of the North west," from Dr. G-. M. 

 Dawson.
