394 PROCEEDINGS OF MONTREAL MEETING. 
orders have been through dealers or irregular and have not been placed 
in the above list. All of these 72 subscribers have purchased the entire 
set of eight volumes. As the number of volumes and the cost of the set 
increases (now $40), it will be proportionately more difficult to place 
full sets. However, there are a large number of state libraries and other 
strong institutions which will be compelled by the public demand to 
place the entire Bulletin upon their shelves. 
Bulletin Sales.—In the previous report it was noted that the receipts 
for 1896 exceeded those of any former year, being $695.75. It is grati- 
fying to report that the receipts for the past year are $772.05. The aver- 
age cost of the eight volumes has been about $1,800. The amount which 
can confidently be expected as an annual income from the sale of the 
Bulletin is already equal to one-third of the annual cost.

Exchanges.—The list of institutions to which the Society donates the 
Bulletin remains the same as last year, with the addition of Geographi- 
schen Gesellschaft, Berne, Switzerland. The complete list is printed, 
with the accessions to the library, on pages 429-436 of volume 8. 
TAbrary.—With a librarian in Cleveland in touch with the Case Library, 
it is hoped that the Society’s library may be made better known and 
more useful to the Fellows. All corresponding institutions and the Fel- 
lows will be asked to send material intended for the Society direct to 
Cleveland. With this change, the trifling expense that the library has 
been to the Society will be wholly remoyed.
