V. 
Mr. Southern is relinquishing the ofhce of Editor after twelve years' 
service in this capacity. The Council wishes to record its appreciation of 
Mr. Southern's excellent work in connection with the publication of the 
Journal during this period. Mrs. Jenkins is undertaking the duties of

Library.— The Society has now entered into exchange of publications 
with a total of 189 institutions, of which 56 are in Australia, 16 in the United 
Kingdom, 23 in other parts of the British Empire, 48 in North and South 
America, 42 in Europe and four in Asia. Many exchange publications are 
coming to hand fairly regularly, but in some instances overseas institutions 
are holding their publications in reserve to be forwarded after the war. 
The Council of this Society has decided, in view of the danger of loss during 
transit, to hold copies of the Journal which would normally be forwarded 
to overseas exchanges and to forward them in more peaceful times. 
The Council wishes to express its thanks to Mr. A. Gibb Maitland for 
further donations to the Society's libraiw made during the year.
