Vol. 70.] ANNUAL REPORT. XXI 



Literature received in 1912, Imt the work is making satisfactory 

 progress. 



During the year Mr. W. Campbell Smith, F.G-.S., has kindly 

 volunteered his services in helping to put the Society's Map 

 Collection in order, and he has already spent a considerable time 

 over that work. The Society is greatly indebted to him for 

 this assistance. 



Mr. C. Da vies Sherborn reports that 



' The Card Catalogue makes satisfactory progress. Editing has now 

 commenced, and the cards are in completed arrangement up to BE, (the first 

 fifty drawers). This editing has considerably reduced the bulk of the cards, 

 thus allowing the calculated space for accessions for some years to come. 

 I may point out that, if the searcher will refer to the footnotes of those 

 books to which the Card Catalogue refers him, he will now be in possession 

 of an almost complete bibliography of any subject desired. 



' I also hope that the literature for 1883-1893 will be taken in hand this 

 year, as that is the only gap now remaining between 1800 and 1912.'
