The Library has been increased during the past year by a great 

 number of valuable donations, including, besides periodicals and the 

 publications of Learned Societies, many separate works of importance, 

 such as : — 



Barrande's ' Systeme Silurien de la Boheme,' vol. ii., ' Cephalo- 

 podes Siluriens,' Text and Atlas ; Greppin's ' Essai Geologique sur 

 la Jura Suisse;' 0. Heer's ^Eossilen Hymenopteren aus (Eningen 

 und Eadoboj ;' Eadmann's ' Expose des Eormations Quaternaires de 

 la Suede;' E. J. Pictet's ' Materiaux pour la Paleontologie Suisse' 

 (the commencement of a fourth series) ; Zigno's ' Elora fossilis Eor- 

 mationis Oolithicae ' (the completion of vol. i.) ; the second edition of 

 Dawson's ' Acadian Geology ; ' the late Professor Hornes's ' Eossilen 

 Mollusken des Tertiarbeckens von Wien,' Bivalves 7 and 8 ; the 

 conclusion of Gaudry's ' Animaux fossiles de I'Attique;' W. K. 

 Parker's ' Monograph on the Structure and Development of the 

 Shoulder-girdle ; ' Giimbel's ' Geognostiche Beschreibung und Karte 

 des ostbayerischen Grenzgebirges,' with a magnificent Atlas ; and the 

 publications of the Geological Survey of the Grand Duchy of Baden, 

 containing Maps and Descriptions of the Environs of Lahr and Oifen- 

 burg, and of Mohringen and Mosskirchen. 



A good many Maps and Plans have been added to the Society's 

 Collection ; they include the Maps of the Geological Surveys of the 

 Netherlands (2 sheets), Sweden (4 sheets), Austria (2 maps), and 

 Victoria (3 maps), those of the British Ordnance Survey, a Geo- 

 logical Map of the South-east of England presented by W. Whitaker, 

 Esq., and a Geological Map of South Devonshire, prepared and pre- 

 sented by Dr. Holl. 



Great inconvenience has often been experienced from the difficulty 

 of arranging detached pamphlets, parts of serial works, and similar 

 publications so as to render them easily accessible. A set of pigeon 

 holes has now been made for the reception of such papers ; and in 

 these they may be kept in alphabetical order, and made more avail- 

 able for the use of the Eellows until they can be bound into volumes. 



Mr. Skertchley resigned the office of Library Assistant at the end 

 of the year 1868, and Mr. E. H. "Waterhouse has been appointed his 

 successor.
