The total number of volumes in the library is about 5,500, and at the 
present time about 1,000 parts or numbers of periodicals are added yearly. 
The annual increase will render necessary, at an early date, additional 
accommodation. 
A list has been formed of the volumes of the Transactions of the 
South African Philosophical Society and of the Transactions of the Eoyal 
Society of South Africa, available for sale or for exchange. 
Vol. III. of the Society's Transactions has been issued during the

Gunning, J. F Quekett, and M. L. Wessels, Members, and of Sir
