LIBRARIAN’S REPORT. 
Since the close of last Session 259 vols., 227 parts of vols., 
and 178 pamphlets, have been added to the Library; of these 
15 vols. and 27 parts being by purchase, and the remainder 
by donations or exchange with other Societies. 
The publications which the Librarian is authorised to 
purchase remain the same as specified in the last Report. 
The sum of £22. 12s. obtained for this year by voluntary 
subscription of ten shillings per annum from forty members, 
and donations from two, will probably be best disposed of in 
completing as far as possible the binding of the books. 
A new catalogue is in preparation. 
On the motion of Dr. Calvert, seconded by Mr. Fryer, 
the Report was adopted. 
The annual election of officers then took place, when the 
following gentlemen were elected : —
