Library. 
The library shows a large increase. Not only have important 
additions been made by exchange, but a number of works on botany 
have been purchased, and a large number of volumes bound. The 
contents of the library have been labelled and re-arranged, thus not 
only decidedly improving the appearance of the library, but making 
works on the various departments of natural science of easy access to 
students. 
Publications. 
Bulletin XVIII contains a number of valuable articles by Dr. 
Geo. F. Matthew, Prof. W. F. Ganong, D. L. Hutchinson and W. 
McIntosh; also Reports of the Fredericton Natural History Society, 
King’s County Natural History Society, and the Natural History and 
Antiquarian Society of Prince Edward Island.
