LIBRARIANS' REPORT 
For the Year 1914. 
DURING the past year 12 members only have borrowed 
books ; and the number of books taken out has been 75. 
Of these, nine were still out at the end of the year : while four 
borrowed in 1913, and ten borrowed in 1912, have not been 
returned. We would urge those members who have these books 
not to forget that other members may be wishing to consult the 
volumes which seem to be so fascinating to themselves. 
No volumes have been sent to the bookbinders this year. 
We have received, during the past twelve months, from the 
Corresponding Societies, three bound volumes, and 253 un- 
bound parts of current publications ; and also six parts to com- 
plete series of earlier dates. 
To the following donors of books, etc., we tender our sincere 
thanks : — -
