REPORT ON THE LIBRARY. 



During the year from August 1, 1906, to July 31, 1907, in- 

 clusive, 1,097 volumes, 2,043 parts of volumes, and 1,704 pam- 

 phlets have been added to the Library. 



From the library of the late Mr. G. H. Eldridge, Mrs. Eldridge 

 has kindly given a large number of geological books and pam- 

 phlets. To Dr. J. C. Phillips the Library is indebted for an 

 excellent copy of Audubon's Birds of America, 4 volumes, folio, 

 435 plates (1827-38) with the accompanying text, issued as 

 Ornithological biography, 5 volumes (1831-39). Mr. John E. 

 Thayer has most generously presented the original ledgers, day 

 books, and account books, with the list of subscribers kept by 

 J. J. Audubon and his sons during the publication of their works 

 on the birds and mammals of North America, seven volumes of 

 great bibliographic interest. 



We have acquired plaster busts of Carl Linne* (1707-1778) by 

 John Borjeson (1907) and of Carl Gegenbaur (1826-1903) by 

 C. Seffner (1906). 



The total number of volumes in the Library is 43,518, the 

 total number of pamphlets is 38,026. 



Three hundred and twenty volumes have been bound ; three 

 hundred pamphlets have been separately bound.
