﻿CATALOGUE 



OF THE 



Books and Pamphlets 



EN THE 



LIBEAET 



OF THE 



Cincinnati Society of Natural History. 



COMPILED BY 



JOSEPH F. JAMES, 



Custodian and Librarian. 



The following Catalogue embraces the 'uooks and pamphlets in the 

 Library of the Cincinnati Society of Natural History. As much valuable 

 and technical matter in science is now and has been published in the 

 Journals and Transactions of Societies, full series of these are valuable for 

 Scientific Libraries of reference. This Catalogue will show many defects 

 in this direction, but these defects are being constantly remedied. New 

 names of Societies are gradually being added to the exchange list of the So- 

 ciety. Most of the Academies and Societies in the United States and many 

 of those in Europe now send their publications regularly to the Library. 

 A large part of the scientific documents published by the Government are 

 also sent regularly, and by these two means alone the Library is rapidly 

 increasing in size and value. It is desirable to complete as far as possible 

 the sets of Transactions and Proceedings of Learned Societies, and those 

 Societies not already in correspondence with the Library, are solicited to 

 open communication with the person in charge. Extras from authors are 

 also desired. One of the objects of this Journal is to exchange with 

 other Societies, and as quite a number of the previous volumes are still on 

 hand, they will be gladly exchanged for volumes wanting in sets and for 

 scientific books and periodicals. Societies from all countries which desire 

 to exchange publications are requested to correspond with the Librarian 

 as below.
