Libkakian's Report 



To the Council of the Geological Society of America : 



The list of additions to the Library for the year ending June 1, 1902, 

 was, early in June, compiled and transmitted to the Secretary for publi- 

 cation in the Bulletin. It will shortl}' appear in the closing brochure of 

 volume 13. 



So far as the Librarian is aware, there are no rules governing the draw- 

 ing of books from the Library by the Fellows of the Societ^^ It is 

 obviously desirable that there be such, and the Librarian would suggest 

 the adoption of rules governing the payment of transportation charges, 

 the length of time during which books may be retained, the penalty to 

 be exacted for exceeding this limit, if any ; the immediate acknowledg- 

 ment of the receipt of books forwarded from the Library, and any other 

 regulations that may seem desirable to the Society. 



The Librarian would be glad of suggestions as to how the Librar}'^ may 

 be made of greater use to the Society. There are files of many publi- 

 cations on the shelves, from 1890 or thereabouts to date, which it would 

 seem should be useful to many, in spite of the necessary payment of 

 transportation charges. The list of such publications can be readily 

 ascertained by inspection of the List of Exclianges published annually 

 in the Bulletin.
