the University Library staff, and the correlation of our Library with the 
others in the building. This work is now substantially finished. It in¬ 
volved many difficult problems, not a little compromise, and much pa¬ 
tience. We hope, however, that those who have followed its progress 
or examined its results will see the great improvement in usefulness of 
all parts of the scientific libraries thus brought together. We owe much 
to the willingness and skill especially of Miss Coddington and Miss Mc¬ 
Culloch of the University cataloguing force. 
The work of securing missing parts and new exchanges has had to 
take a subordinate place this year. By correspondence with Societies 
the following have been secured: 
Missing volumes received. 2 
Missing parts received. 3 
Volumes completed . 3 
Sets completed. 0 
New exchanges..... 4 
Again a sum of $40.00 has been at our disposal, which was expended, 
securing 13 volumes and two parts, completing one volume previously 
incomplete. 
Of the Academy funds we have expended about $95:00 (the Treas¬ 
urer’s report will show the exact amount) of which $92.67 was paid 
for 18 volumes of the Abhandlungen der K. Sachsischen Gesellschaft 
der Wissenschaften, a great addition to our material. 
The new exchanges are as follows: 
’sRyks Herbarium, Leiden. 
Svenska Botaniska Forening. 
Philosophical Society, University of Virginia. 
Societe d’Histoire Naturelle, Autun. 
The present relations and condition of our Library make it desirable 
that the work of the Library Committee and Exchange Committee be 
consolidated. We therefore recommend: 
1. That the Exchange Committee be discharged, and its duties turned 
over to the Library Committee. 
2. That the Library Committee be allowed for use in its work such 
amounts from the Academy’s funds as may to the Executive Committee 
seem wise; and that it be given authority to dispose of the duplicates 
of the Library in such manner as it may deem fit. 
Respectfully submitted,

The Treasurer, R. H. Denniston, acting for W. G. Marquette,
