Library. 



The Library received, in 1871, an addition of 837 volumes or parts of 

 volumes. A considerable number are due to the Hberality of the Grovernment 

 of India, the Grovernments of the several provinces, authors of works, and the 

 following members of the Society — Messrs, J. Wood-Mason, J. T. Wheeler, 

 a. Latham, A. M. Broadley, H. Blochmann, H. F. Blanford ; Drs. O. W. 

 Leitner, J. E. T. Aitchison, J. Anderson ; Eev. J. Long, Eev. C. H. Dall, 

 Prof. Weber ; Babiis Eajendralala Mitra, Pratapachandra Ghosha, Dhanpati 

 Singh Eai Bahadur, Thakur Griri Prasad ; and the late Venerable Archdeacon 

 Pratt. 



Other books were obtained by purchase on the recommendation of 

 the Library Committee, or in exchange for the publications of the Society. 

 Detailed lists of the additions have been published in the Monthly Pro- 

 ceedings. 



The collection of MSS. of the Society have also received valuable 

 additions. There were 110 Sanskrit and 8 Persian MSS. purchased or 

 copied, A separate hst of the former is about to be issued. The old MSS. 

 of the Society have again been revised, and such MSS, as were wholly or 

 partly damaged, from the corrosive effects of bad ink used in their transcrip- 

 tion, have been replaced by new copies. 



The Catalogue of the Sanscrit MSS. mentioned in last year's report has 

 made considerable progress. 



The Photographic Album of the Society has received several excellent 

 additions from the Government of India, especially the large set of photo- 

 graphs of Bihar antiquities detailed in December's Proceedings.
