1368 Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters. 
A considerable number of duplicates have been sold, the 
amount realized appearing in the Treasurer’s report. 
Five dollars of the funds of the Academy have been spent 
in postage and stationery for this committee. An order for 
the volumes needed to complete our set of the Proceedings of 
the Koyal Society of London has been placed. The books are 
in transit, but have not yet arrived. Their cost is about $45.00, 
and the Treasurer should be instructed to set aside that amount 
from last year’s funds to pay for the same. 
The consolidation of our Library with that of the Univer¬ 
sity, authorized two years ago, has made good progress during 
the year. Most of our books have now been catalogued and 
shelved with those of the University on similar subjects. A 
special bookplate for the Academy books has been printed, and 
placed in all bound volumes. We do not hesitate in saying 
that the value of our library, by this consolidation (and the 
attending completion of sets and elimination of duplicates) has 
at least doubled. We hope in another year to have this work 
substantially completed. 
We offer the following recommendations: That this Com¬ 
mittee on Exchanges be continued for another year; that it 
be allowed such sums as may be realized from the sale of 
duplicate material; and that it be further granted such further 
sum as in the opinion of the Executive Committee may be 
available. 
' Respectfully submitted, 
Edward Kremers, 
Walter M. Smith, 
George Wagner, 
Chairman.
