PROCEEDINGS OF THE 
The library is in a satisfactory condition, and numerous books 
have been received during the past year by donation or exchange. 
A third bookcase has, by permission of the Public Library Com¬ 
mittee, been placed in the lecture-room. In this case the books to 
which members will most often refer have been placed, with the 
exception of works on botany, which, with the valuable collection 
of books bequeathed to the Society by the late Mr. A. R. Pryor, 
are contained in the other two cases. Some of the latter are of ex¬ 
ceptional value or rarity, and are not allowed to circulate without 
the special permission of the Council. A list of these exceptions 
will be found at the commencement of the Catalogue. 
Your Secretary for East Herts resigns after having held that 
office since 1880. The Council desire on the occasion of Mr. 
Croft’s retirement to place on record their high appreciation of his 
services to the Society for the period of five years. 
In conclusion the Council has to express the thanks of the Society 
to the Committee of the Watford Public Library for the accommo¬ 
dation afforded for your Library and the Watford meetings.
