REPORT. 



and in order to extend its resources and thereby its useful- 

 ness, we earnestly solicit the continued co-operation of our 

 fellow members, and others interested in the cause of science, 

 in fostering this most important department of our institution. 



The present is the first attempt that has been made to 

 print a complete Catalogue of the Academy's Library : but 

 a manuscript Catalogue, though upon a different arrange- 

 ment from the present, was made out many years ago under 

 the auspices of the then Library Committee, but chiefly by 

 Dr. Hays, to whom the Library of our Institution is indebted 

 for many important services.
