The most important additions as heretofore have been obtained 
from corresponding societies and by means of the I. V. Williamson 
Library Fund. 
The subject catalogues of the departments of the library in most 
general use, have been completed and the cards arranged alphabeti¬ 
cally in the drawers provided for them. The books and pamphlets 
on Physical Science, Chemistry, Geography, Agriculture and Med¬ 
icine only remain to be catalogued and the entire work, it is hoped, 
will be finished early in the spring. 
Two hundred and two volumes have been bound since last report. 
For the satisfactory progress on the subject catalogue which I am 
able to report, I am indebted to the efficient assistance of Mr. E. 
Fronaui while to Mr. Wm. J. Fox acknowledgment is due for sat- 
isfactorv aid in the current work of the vear.
