As Donations the Library has received about 157 volumes of 

 separately published works and Survey Reports, and about 321 

 separate impressions of Memoirs and other Pamphlets, besides about 

 153 volumes and 78 detached parts of the publications of various 

 Societies. Besides these about 11 volumes of independent Periodicals, 

 presented chiefly by their respective Editors, and 11 volumes of

 stitute a total addition to the Society's Library, by donation, of 

 about 350 volumes and 321 pamphlets. 



A considerable number of Maps, Plans, and Charts have been 

 added to the Society's collections by presentation, chiefly, as in 

 former years, from the Ordnance Survey of Great Britain, whose 

 donations amount to 457 sheets, large and small. From the French 

 Depot de la Marine, 39 sheets have been received. The remainder, 

 consisting of 39 sheets, includes 6 sheets from the Geological Survey 

 of Saxony, 3 from that of Belgium, 6 from the Roumanian Geological 

 Survey, and 2 from the Geological Survey of Norway, besides 12

 the year was 535.
