Library. 



The Library is quite as essential for carrying on the work of the 

 Department as the Herbarium. It is not intended for the use of the 

 Public, though, as a matter of fact, such works as can be spared are 

 loaned to planters and students, and the catalogue of books added to the 

 Library each year is published in the Annual Report for general in- 

 formation. 



The Library of the Jamaica Institute contains a large collection of 

 books on Agriculture. These works are always accessible to the Public, 

 and there is therefore no need to have a duplicate set in Kingston. 

 Each Garden has already a small Library in the Superintendent's 

 office, and these books are available for consultation by visitors. If 

 it is thought desirable, these collections can be added to, and provision 

 made for such increase on the Estimates. The following is the cata- 

 logue of the works placed in the Library during the year in addition 

 to those already acknowledged as contributions in the Monthly
