Slips have been prepared for GO Maps, and for Books and 

 Serials, 1,247. 



Additional shelves and presses have been added to the 

 Library to accommodate the rapidly-increasing number of 

 Books. This has necessitated a re-ari-angement of the books, 

 which has entailed the re-press-maiking of a laige number of 

 volumes. 1,523 volumes have already been re-marked, and of 

 pamphlets, 2,450. 



The catalogue slips have also been altered, so as to corre- 

 spond with the new press-marks. Sixty volumes have been 

 bound, and 50 are still in the hands of the binder. 



HI. — Preparation of Catalogues. 



The publication of Part II. of the " Catalogue of Wealden 

 Plants," by A. C. Seward, and of Part III. of the " Catalogue 

 of Fossil Fishes," by Arthur Smith Woodward, has been

Part 1. of the " Catalogue of the Bryozoa," by Dr. Gregory, 

 is completed, and in the Printer's hands ; and Part I. of the 

 " Catalogue of Tertiary Mollusca, Australasia," by Mr. G. F.
