Tutt, J. W., "Natural History of British Lepidoptera," in 

 8 Volumes. 



There have been several changes during the year in the 

 personnel of the Library staff. Miss Gertrude Jarman, after 

 some six years of admirable work in the Library, left in June, 

 and her loss has been felt universally as a distinct one from 

 a working as well as a personal point of view. Miss Amy 

 Hepburn was appointed to fill the position left vacant by Miss 

 Jarman's resignation and began work in July. The year 

 furthermore has seen the creation of a new position, that of 

 assistant in publications, to which Mr. George Chamberlain 

 has been transferred from his former position as library assis- 

 tant. Mr. Chamberlain had already had considerable experi- 

 ence in this work while engaged in the Library, and this 

 separation of the two rapidly growing departments necessarily 

 will prove most advantageous. Miss Hazel A. Gay, a recent 

 graduate of the Library School of Columbia University, was 

 appointed library assistant in June to fill Mr. Chamberlain's 

 position.
