 monthly Meeting of the Committee, but not quite completed. 



I. Resolvedy — That Messrs. Allen and Co. be requested to send out the 

 newest and cheapest good editions of such of the missing works in ques- 

 tion, as the Committee, at their last Meeting, resolved should be replaced ; 

 and also, to adopt the necessary measures for obtaining from dealers in 

 old and second-hand books, such separate volumes of books and numbers 

 of periodicals as are required to supply deficiencies in !he Library. The 

 prices of the books and periodicals in question, as soon as ascertained, 

 will be debited to the parties responsible for the deficiencies which they 

 are to supply, and payment will be applied for accordingly. As, in most 

 cases, the charges will not correspond with those originally incurred by 

 the Society for the books and periodicals in question, the Committee do 

 not consider it necessary that this list should be completed or recorded.
