of the world, as the exchanges received for it indicate. 

 These exchanges are of great value, and constitute in 

 themselves a very important addition annually to our 

 Library. The Committee feel much indebted to Mr. 

 Shearer for his successful efforts in raising the funds 

 necessary for carrying on the publication, since the 

 Legislative grant was withdrawn. Of course, if larger 

 means were at their disposal, they could add greatly to 

 the value of the " Eecord," by more numerous and costly 

 illustrations, than the funds at present at command admit 

 of ; but they are striving to do the best they can under 

 the circumstances, and they hope to continue to justify, 

 by the variety and excellence of the contents of the 

 " Record," the liberality of the members of the Society in 

 furnishing the extra amount required for its maintenance. 

 Respectfully submitted, on behalf of the Committee, in 

 the absence of the Editor, Dr. F. D. Adams, by 



Robert Campbell, 



Acting Editor.
