The following figures will show the present condition of 

 the Society's Library : — Volumes, 11,944 ; Pamphlets, 4,145 ; 

 Maps, Charts, Photographs, etc., 189; total, 16,278. 



During the year the numbering of the card catalogue has 

 been completed. Owing to lack of means a few miscella- 

 neous works only have been bound ; to place our library in 

 a satisfactory condition in this respect will require a very 

 large expenditure. The plan of devoting the larger portion 

 of the Wolcott Fund to the completion of fragmentary serial 

 publications in our possession has been faithfully carried out, 

 and I hope will be continued. 



The number of books borrowed from the Library during 

 the year is 987 ; they have been used by 130 persons. These 

 figures show a rapidly increasing use of the Library.
