During the year 1917 a committee was appointed to revise 

 the " Rules " of the Library, and these in their amended form 

 were duly issued to members. 



Other measures have since been under consideration to in- 

 crease the utility of the Library for the work of the different 

 sections by acquiring up-to-date text books, the results of which 

 will appear in the report for 1917-1918.

 1917 there is no Delegate's Report to be inserted.
