and the latter on account of its being the only complete set now 

 in a London Library. In all 91 Volumes of serials have been 

 added. 



Thirty-nine Volumes of separately-published works were also 

 chosen from Mr. Oldham's Library ; most of them were new to the 

 Society's collection, but certain duplicates were selected on account 

 of their use for purposes of circulation. 



A series of pamphlets, reports and extracts (numbering alto- 

 gether 156 works) forms an important part of this new addition. 

 Indian geology is represented in this section by 45 publications, 

 several rare reports being included. There are 47 papers on 

 Earthquakes, 32 on Permian Grlaciation, 9 on Petrology, and 7 on 

 Palaiobotany, the remaining 16 being of a miscellaneous character. 

 Included also in Mr. Oldham's donation are seismograms of the 

 North Pacific and South American Earthquake of August 16th, 

 1906 (published by the International Seismological Association) 

 and an Album of Photographs of the Grohna Landslip of 1894. 



Donations from other sources number 18 Volumes of separately- 

 published works, 184 Pamphlets, and 2 detached Parts of works, 

 also 124 Volumes and 386 detached Parts of serial publications, 

 44 Volumes and 123 detached Parts of the publications of Greo- 

 logical Surveys and other public bodies, and 8 Volumes of weekly 

 periodicals. 



The total number of accessions by Donation amounts, therefore, 

 to 324 Volumes, 340 Pamphlets, and 509 detached Parts.
