The growth of the library is very constant ; the average for the 
past ten years has been a little over 2400. 
A careful count of the library shows the following result: 
19,917 volumes, 1,199 incomplete (including current) volumes, 
9,258 pamphlets, a total of 30,369. New exchanges have been 
arranged with the American Journal of Psychology, the Geological 
Society of America, Illinois Geological Survey, Texas Geolog- 
ical Survey, and Marine Biological Laboratory. 
The number of scientific societies and periodicals at home and 
abroad with which the Society now exchange its publications is 
365. 
Eight hundred and eighty-seven books have been borrowed 
from the library by ninety-three persons. These figures of course 
do not fully indicate the usefulness of the library as they do not 
show the number of books used within the library, nor the whole 
number of persons enjoying its privileges. 
Nothing has been done in the way of binding while the need 
of this work constantly increases.
