(c.) Incorporation. — (1.) General Catalogue. — 38,971 title- 

 slips and 1,028 index-slips have been incorporated into each 

 of three copies of this Catalogue. This incorporation has 

 rendered it necessary, in order to maintain, so far as possible, 

 the alphabetical arrangement, to remove and re-insert 22,027 

 title-slips and 453 index-slips in each copy, and to add to 

 each copy 295 new leaves ; while, in the preparation of the 

 manuscript volumes for printing, it has been necessary to 

 remove and re-insert 38,055 title-slips in one copy only, and to 

 add thereto 169 new leaves. 



The system of fortnightly incorporation, introduced in 

 1889, and described in the Annual Report for that year, 

 has been carried out with perfect regularity during the past 

 year.
