REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 



The Library of the New York Academy of Sciences has received during 

 the current year by exchange and donation 362 volumes and 1,913 num- 

 bers. Persistent efforts have again been made to complete the imperfect 

 files of serial publications which still exist on our shelves, but with the 

 exception of five volumes received from the Societe de L'Industrie Mine- 

 rale to whom special acknowledgments are herewith extended, the results 

 have been few. 



It is a pleasure, however, to report that the Library formed in part by 

 the collection belonging to the New York Academy of Sciences is being 

 •extensively used by neighboring institutions as well as by scientists from 

 many states. 



Respectfully submitted, Ralph W. Tower, 



Librarian.
