During the past year the library has received large additions, both 

 by presentation and purchase. 



In the Natural History Department, the most important additions 

 have been Mr. Gould's large works on the Birds of Asia, purchased 

 in England, and 30 vols, of the Transactions of Leopoldino- Caroline 

 Academy (which completes the Society's set of that most valuable 

 series up to the year 1851) from the late Dr. Walker's library.

 Professor Tischendorf and presented by the Imperial Russian govern-
