Librarian's Report: — 



During the year we have to report a continuance and en- 

 largement of our exchange with the various Societies of Great 

 Britain, America, the Continent, &c. There have been several 

 applications from Societies which have not already exchanged 

 with us, and as far as possible we have complied with their 

 requests for our proceedings, viz., The Perthshire Natural 

 History Society and the Lloyd's Library, Cincinnati, both of 

 which tender their thanks to the Committee for their kindness. 



The following Societies, not already on our list of exchange, 

 have sent us their publications: — Limerick Field Club, Liver- 

 pool Naturalists' Field Club, California Academy of Sciences, 

 and the Queensland Museum. These Societies are now entered 

 on our list, and will receive our publications regularly.
