The Library stntistici' Bhow a total of H7,479 volumes in the Reference Li1mry at. the cnJ of tho year l 899.

Amongst the principal works n.ddcd during tlw year the following may be men~ tioneti :·~Gonld's "Birds of Europe/' and u Century of Birds from lhc Himnlayn }fonnw tains,,. the 10 Edition Nntionalc ''of Victor Hugo's works, "cvcrrd early volumes of tho "Hobart Town Gazette" ( 1817--37), a.ntl the "Jesuit Relations/1 cotHaining valnnblo rocortis of travels in America. from 16!0 to 1791.

The number of visits pa.itl to the Reference Librnry awl t,o the Ne\Y:<pttper Ronm (estimated) w~~s 3.:J2,419 Leing 10,778 in excess of the previous year. There hns been a marked. increnso in th<:< nttcnrlaw'!.e ;;lncc the rt;ncwnl of the gNnt for purchasing books.

The amount spent in bh:ding atld repairing -..vas £1,185 as ngninst .£1,000 4s. 4d. in the previous year.

The vahtc of the Newspaper Collection fm· reference pnrposo is now so great that spacial efforts ha Ye l10et1 made to obtain dnpHc.'ttc copies. of iho leading :JiollJonrue news­papers. During the year dnplicnt+'! files of t.be A'rgu.'l from 1852 to Ja,te1 rm•l of tl1e A;Je from 1855 to Uate, hn.ve been bound. Tbetw files are n.lmoe:t perfcet~ and will he t~aroi'ully preserved. ThB Age was first puh:i;;hcd on tiw 1 ith October, !854, nnd it is hoped that n dupliente cf the firat volnmo will t;hort;y ho obtJt.Lncd.

'l'ho work t!t!nc by the Library in rocuivlng nn:l Ueopntehing pllh1ical!ons un<ler tile system of exchange has heen consirlcrable1 as nmy l1e bCen fi·om the tables att<t.elwrl. The most important work dii!trihntcd on behalf of tho Tn1stees was tl1o vnlumc of "Letters from Victorian Pionecr1:1/' puLliHhctJ from the original letters presented to tbe Trt1stees lly His Ex:cdleney !lr, C. J. Lntrohe.

Grn,vc inconvenience has been cnmHstl dmiug the pMi few years owing to the want of space in tlic Library. TcmporfLry "store:-~ 1' wore made in differont place$ and the overcrowding of tho shelveR wns injuring the books :1.11 \Yell as dislnrbing the proper ch~.-s:sification, It was therefore det~iJed to use the Rotunda ns a store room. awl tho reliof afforded by t.bis :1.rrangoment hns bean considornh!e1 thongh still (Jf a very tem­porary eha.mctor, The whole uf t.he building~t uso(l for Librnry purpose~ nre so nmmit­nble that I would strongly urge thM tho coni!<idem.tion of the Tntsteei:i be given to the hest mea.ns of de~tling witlt this question iu dttJ nco.r fuiure. In tlH~ pre..-:ont ltniltling Sllporvision is diilicuit nntl C'ostly-adoqun.tc supervi;;;ion if.! impossible. Tho result is disastrons, and I fear at len:;t mvler present drounntfl.neos, that it is iuevituhlc,

II.-TBE LENDL"G LIBRARY.

The Lending Libr<ry w•s closod from the 12th }lfarch to 23,·d Jnly, pending nltemtiou~ in the building, and during this period the 'vhofe collection was classified and rc-arrang<'d wiih a vie~r to permitting rcaJcrs t.o have accet~e to the shelves. Tho books were elassifie1l h~· Mr. It D. Boys, the officer in dtarge, under the Dewey !lJBtem of Decimal Cln.,;sifien.tion. The Lending Library Building wa!'l fitted wirh a view to proper supervision and convenience for hornnverB. H wu.a re· opened uuder tho run,~ system on the 24th July, and before the end of the year the register contained the names of 5,560 borrowerA. It is satisfactory to record that when stock was taken at the year's oud, only six vo]umes were mi~sing, aud these were or small value,

The nnmOer of \~olumca borrowed ft•om 24th July to 31st Decembm"s wn.s 69,855. IH the tevisiou of the books for classification pnrposes, it was foun•l that thorc '\Yen:
