The Librarian reports that the new book cases were 
brought into use during the last autumn, and in the removal 
the same arrangement has been retained, that is, all works 
of one class are to be found under the various letters of the 
alphabet according to the classification in the present 
catalogue; this classification it is proposed to retain with 
some modification. 
In the Natural History room the whole of the works 
relating to Natural History and the Microscope have been 
collected and temporarily arranged in the book cases. 
It is desirable that a new catalogue should be prepared, 
and this may be commenced as soon as the books are 
permanently arranged. 
According to rule 87, the books have been called in, and as 
soon as practicable a careful examination will be made and 
reported to the Council. 
As it may not be generally known to the members of the 
Society that a large number of Scientific Periodicals, 
Proceedings, and Memoirs of Societies are always to be 
found on the table in the Council Room, a list is appended : 
Annales des Sciences Naturelles : Botanique. 
Annual Reports of various Manchester Societies. 
Atti della Reale Accademia di Lincei. 
Berichte der Dentschen Chemischen Gesellschaft.
