 and at the village. At present the majority of visitors simply

The photograph albums are worn out and shabby and should

The following additions to the library have been made during 

 the season of 1908: Appalachia; Sierra Club Bulletin; Cali-

 ers of California, Parsons, donated by the author; Manual of 

 North American Butterflies, Maynard, donated by the author; 

 Starvecrow Farm, Weyman, (paper) ; The Far Horizon, Malet, 

 (paper). 



Donations to the library of books and pamphlets relating in 

 any way to the Yosemite National Park, or treating of the geol- 

 ogy, botany, mineralogy, ornithology, icthyology, or zoology of 

 the Sierra Nevada are particularly welcome, and would undoubt-

Major H. C. Benson for kindness and courtesy to the Club 

 representative ;

 Farm" (Weyman) and "The Far Horizon" (Malet) ;
