The Society now exchanges its publications with 416 scientific 
institutions and periodicals. 
By purchase we have added seven serials: Anatomische hefte; 
Revista trimestral micrografica ; Archives d’anatomie microscopique; 
Proceedings entomological society of Washington; Journal New 
York entomological society; Memoirs Torrey botanical club; Palae- 
ontographia Italica. 
Eight hundred and twenty-eight books have been borrowed by 
123 persons; 154 volumes have been borrowed for use in the 
building, and the library has been consulted 373 times. 
Eight hundred and five volumes have been bound in 356 covers; 
200 pamphlets have been bound. 
Five years ago we began indexing the papers published in serials. 
This work is laborious and the progress necessarily slow ; the cards 
issued by the International bibliographical institute will, however, 
relieve most of the work on current volumes and allow us to devote 
our efforts to earlier volumes. 
The total indexed is 70 serials, 1,017 volumes. 
The list of 9 serials, 226 volumes, indexed this year is as follows :— 
Anatomische hefte. 5 vols.
