Many of these are in poor condition, and it would be

 state. 



I have to acknowledge the receipt of the following 

 donations : 



From the late Walter Drake, Esq. : 



Pyrenomycetes, by Ellis and Everhart. 

 Lichenology. 



Mosses, by Lesquereux & James. 

 From Mrs. Griffin. — Wood's British Song-Birds. 

 From the Leigh Baron Trust. — Biological Experimenta- 

 tion. Dr. Eichardson. 

 From Dr. H. Ami, of Ottawa. — 18 pamphlets on scien- 

 tific subjects, by the donor. 

 I cannot close this report without acknowledging the 

 great help I have received from Mr. Griffin, who has 

 spent so many hours with me in the Library, and without 

 whose help the work of arranging and cataloguing the 

 Society's works could not have been so nearly completed. 



Eespectfully submitted, 



E. T. Chambers, 



Hon. Librarian.
