numerous pamphlets in it, with a full title and reference to each. 

 The books themselves have likewise been classed according to the 

 subjects of which they treat, or the system of their publication. 

 Your committee are of opinion, that the catalogue is not only highly 

 useful to the Society, but most creditable to the industry of Mr. 

 Humphreys, who has completed it by himself during the past year. 

 The committee observe that much of Mr. Humphreys's time has 

 been required in supplying books to the members, and in pre- 

 paring, together with Mr. Bailey, sections for the evening's meet- 

 ings. The charts were arranged during a previous year, with much 

 care, by Mr. Lonsdale, with references to the printed catalogue. 

 Your committee may remark, that if letters were added to the 

 shelves and cases, a work of very little time, any one consulting 

 the catalogue for the first time would "be able immediately to find 

 any chart he wanted. The maps are in a less perfect state of ar- 

 rangement.
