LlBEAEY. 



Since the last annual Eeport, the Library has received an addition 

 of 153 volumes, many of which are donations from authors and learn- 

 ed Societies. Successive grants, amounting altogether to Es. 1,000, 

 have been made to the Library Committee for the purchase of ad- 

 ditional works. Glazed cases have been provided for the Persian, 

 Arabic and Urdu MSS. and others are in course of preparation 

 for the Sanscrit MSS. The Council recommend that the at- 

 tention of their successors may be drawn to the propriety of still 

 further strengthening the resources of this Department in the course 

 of the current year. 



The new Catalogue in a more useful form than that published in 

 1843, is in the press and, it is hoped, will be published soon. 



Museum. 



This Department has been enriched by the acquisition of several 

 valuable ancient coins and sculpture. 



Officees. 



The Council have again to express their entire satisfaction with 

 the manner in which the Librarian and the Curators of the two De- 

 partments of the Museum have discharged their duties.
