PROCEEDINGS  OE  THE  GEOLOGICAL  SOCIETY. 
[May  1895, 
The  work  of  making  good  the  deficiencies  existing  in  many  sets- 
of  scientific  serials  in  the  Society’s  Library  has  further  progressed 
during  the  past  twelvemonth,  22  sets  previously  imperfect  having 
now  been  completed.  Worthy,  perhaps,  of  particular  mention 
among  these  are  the  £  Comptes  Rendus  de  FAcademie  des  Sciences  ? 
and  the  Bulletins  et  Mbmoires  de  la  Societe  Gfeologioue  de 
France.’ 
As  the  result  of  an  application  made  by  the  Assistant  Secretary 
to  the  N etkerlands  ^Xinistor  for  th.6  Colonics,  25  volumes  of  the 
‘  Jaarboek  van  het  Mijnwezen  in  Nederlandsch  Oost-Indie,’  which 
m  the  course  of  the  past  seventeen  years  had  been  sent' by  the 
Dutch  Government  to  the  Foreign  Office  (for  transmission,  it  is 
believed,  to  this  Society),  but  had  been  retained  in  error  and  dis¬ 
tributed  among  various  Government  departments,  were  collected  by 
the  Foreign  Office  and  handed  over  to  this  Society’s  Library.  J 
The  Society’s  collection  of  historically  interesting  mementoes  of 
the  earlier  generation  of  illustrious  geologists  has  been  enriched 
during  the  past  year  by  the  gift  of  a  bust  of  Sir  Charles  Lyell,  and 
a  reproduction  of  a  portrait  in  crayons  of  Leonard  Horner,  ’from 
Mrs.  Catherine  Lyell;  a  copy  of  Maceulloch’s  Geological  Map  of 
Scotland,  from  Professor  Judd,  F.R.S. ;  and  a  framed  portrait  of 
Dr.  Samuel  P.  Woodward,  from  H.  E.  Woodward,  Esq.  An  early 
portrait  m  oils  of  Sir  Charles  Lyell,  believed  to  have  been  painted 
about  the  year  1832,  was  purchased  at  a  cost  of  £1. 
Such  of  the  six-inch  Ordnance  Survey  Maps  as  are  in  the  Society’s 
possession  have  now  all  been  placed  in  suitable  cases.
