Report of the Library Committee for 191-3. 



The general state of the Library continues to be satisfactory, 

 and numerous and important additions have been made during the 

 past year. Unfortunately, European Literature is but poorly 

 represented among these additions. The binding of serials has 

 progressed satisfactorily, but no opportunity has been found to 

 make any progress in instituting a systematic arrangement of the 

 books. The demands made upon the Library for reference, 

 research, and the borroAving of books are by no means less than in 

 normal times ; and it is satisfactory to note that use has been 

 made of the completeness of the Library by those whose lines of 

 enquiry are connected with some of the special needs of the country 

 at the present juncture. 



There were received by Donation 19 Volumes of separately- 

 published Works, 19-1 Pamphlets, and 9 detached Parts of 

 Works ; also S7 Volumes and 334 detached Parts of Serial 

 Publications, 76 Volumes and 2S0 detached Parts of the publica- 

 tions of Geological Surveys and other public bodies, and 23 Volumes 

 of Weekly Periodicals. 



The total number of accessions by Donation amounts, therefore, 

 to 207 Volumes, 194 Pamphlets, and 623 detached Part-. 



There has been a notable decrease in the number of new Maps 

 received.
