Proceedings now being distributed to the honorary and 
corresponding members, and to the various learned bodies 
with whoju the Society exchanges it transactions. These 
parcels are now on the point of being dispatched to their 
various addresses. No progress has been made in the bind- 
ing of the books, and* the number needing to be bound is 
now so large as to demand early attention, prompt and 
regular binding being of great importance in a public 
library. Considerable shelf space will be required to pro- 
vide for the accumulation of works which have no fixed 
place in the library. The number of Societies holding rela- 
tions with .the Society continues as was reported last year.
