The Library Catalogue, revised to date, has been printed through the liberality of Mr. Charles Washington Eves, a Fellow of the Institute, who has kindly volunteered to undertake the entire cost of the first impressions of the work, and presented the stereotyped plates to the Institute. The want of a printed catalogue has long been felt, and the boon will be much appreciated. The Library now contains 4,700 volumes and 1,600 pamphlets. The Council recommend that Rule 58 be repealed, and the following Rule adopted in lieu thereof :-" The Annual Meeting shall be held in the month of February or March." The effect of this alteration will be that the accounts will be made up to December 31 in each year instead of to June 11, as hitherto. In conclusion, the Council desire to express their gratification at the evidences of increased interest taken in Colonial questions both in Parliament and amongst the public at large-an interest which it will be the object of the Council to continue to foster and extend.
