The librarian would like to emphasize to members of the 
Academy the importance of adding to the library in this man¬

generally much scattered as to place of publication, we thereby 
obtain in the most convenient form and with little expense, that 
portion of a library of which we stand much in need. It is 
hoped that future librarians of the Academy will give a circular 
like the one already sent out, as wide a circulation among other 
classes of scientists as it has been given among geologists.
