The members are not aware perhaps, that the Library 
may be consulted until 10 p.m., the Council considered that 
this arrangement might prove of service to such members 
as were unable to use it during the day time. Unfortu- 
nately the library is still very far from being in order, 
owing to the late alterations etc., it is hoped, however 
that the Hon. Librarian will shortly be able to commence 
his voluntary labour of compiling a card catalogue. Mean- 
time the front room on the first floor has been set apart
