Annual Report of the Council. 107 



The stock of back numbers of Memoirs and Proceedings 

 has been overhauled and rearranged, and a check-list of it 

 is being prepared. 



Almost the whole of the work done in the Library was 

 accomplished during the months of August, September, and 

 October. Since that time Mr. Leigh has been so much 

 occupied with the routine work of the Session that com- 

 paratively little attention has been given to the Library. 



The donations during the past Session (exclusive of 

 the usual exchanges) amount to 63 volumes ; and the 

 books purchased (in addition to the periodicals regularly 

 subscribed for) to 13 volumes. The following is a list of 

 the donations :—
