whether such persons are members of the University or not. Such permission, however, can only be granted by minute of Senatus, specifying the grounds on which the privilege is granted, and the conditions attached to it, an extract of which minute must be transmitted to the University Court. All grants made on the above conditions terminate with the Academical year, but may be renewed under like conditions, if again applied for. Readers admitted under this section pay an annual subscription of 10s. 6d.

Encyclopædias, dictionaries, transactions of learned Societies, literal translations of the classics, books containing valuable engravings, works with loose plates, atlases, maps, parts of works, books and periodicals unbound, &c., are not lent out of the Library, except to members of the Senatus, or, by special permission of the Senatus, to such persons as may be entitled to the use of the Library; and all works thus lent out may be recalled at any time if required in the Library. Certain rare books and MSS. are not lent out of the Library on any terms, but, on application to the Senatus, these may be consulted in the presence of a Librarian.

All books belonging to the Library, by whomsoever borrowed, must be returned by the first Monday of October in each year, under a penalty of One Shilling a volume; and in the event of any volume not being returned before the expiration of one week after that date, the fine shall be repeated weekly until such volume is returned, or until a copy of the book, of the same edition and of equal value, shall, at the expense of the borrower, be placed in the Library in its stead.

In the event of any book being lost or injured while in the possession of a person entitled to the use of the Library, he shall be liable either to replace the same or to pay such a fine as may be fixed by the Senatus Academicus. Readers are particularly warned against injuring books belonging to the Library by writing upon the margins, turning down the leaves, or otherwise disfiguring them. The Librarian is instructed to report all such cases to the Library Committee, and the persons guilty of such offences shall be liable to replace the injured books, and shall be fined or suspended from the privileges of the Library at the discretion of the Committee.

So long as any person shall remain in possession of a book which he is not entitled to retain, or shall allow any fine incurred by him to remain unpaid, the right of such person to borrow or retain any books whatever shall be suspended.

No book shall in any case be given out of the Library, except to the borrower in person, or to some one having written authority

from him; and books belonging to the Library must not be privately lent by one reader to another.

The Reference Department of the Library contains an extensive selection of the best books in all departments of knowledge, and a special collection is in course of formation bearing directly upon the different subjects taught within the University.

The Library is open during the Winter Session for the exchange of books on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from 10 to 1 and from 2 to 4 o'clock. At the same hours the Reading-Room is open for consulting books, and also on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 2 to 4 o'clock. During the Summer Session the library is open on Wednesdays from 10 to 1, and on Fridays from 10 to 1 and 2 to 4. During the months of July, August, and September the days for exchange and consultation of books are Wednesdays and Fridays, from 10 to 1 o'clock.

CLASS LIBRARIES.

1. There is a Library in connection with the St Andrews Students' Missionary Society. It consists chiefly of books bearing on Missions and Missionary work, and frequent additions are made to it by grants from the funds of the Society. It is managed by one of the members of the Society, who is chosen annually.

2. The Moral Philosophy Class Library.-Instituted by the late Rev. Dr Chalmers, Professor of Moral Philosophy in the United College.

3. The Logic Class Library.-Originated by the late Professor Spalding, and added to by the late Professors Veitch and Baynes. 4. The Chemistry Class Library.-Founded by the late Professor Connell, who bequeathed to it a number of volumes.

5. The Humanity Class Library.-Containing a small number of books bearing on Latin Literature.

6. The Mathematical Class Library.-Founded at the close of session 1882-83, for the use of students attending the Mathematical Classes. It is suggested that any one interested in the University and possessing books, however old or shabby, connected with Mathematics or Natural Philosophy, for which they have no special use, might present them to the Class Library. It is managed by the Professor and a Committee of Students elected by the Classes, and is largely made use of by the students both for Class Work and for Degree Examinations. This Library now numbers upwards of 650 volumes.

MUSEUM.

The Museum, which is the joint property of the University and the Literary and Philosophical Society, occupies four apartments in the United College. In 1871 it was greatly enriched through the munificence of the late Professor Macdonald, who presented the University with collections in various departments of Natural History. Recently extensive additions have been made in the Zoological department, especially in spirit-preparations. Those from the great International Fisheries Exhibition in London, H.M. Trawling Commission, the Australian Museum, Sydney, and the local series, especially of the food-fishes, are most noteworthy, and in many cases unique.

The Ethnological specimens are exhibited in the small room on the upper floor.

The Fossils are arranged in stratigraphical order, commencing with the oldest fossils, and passing successively upward till the semi-fossilised deposits of recent times are reached. The arrangement starts in the drawers of the lower room with the Graptolites of the Silurian, and terminates in that room with the Mountain Limestone: it is again taken up in the left-hand case of the large hall by the Orthoceratites of the Dumfries district, which are followed by a somewhat extensive series of the Black

band fossils of Fife; the circuit of the case ending with the Oolite of Brora and the Purbeck stone. The case on the opposite side of the room continues the collection with the Gault; the series ending, after the circuit of this case, with rocks presently in course of formation. From the above series a very complete collection of the fossils of the yellow sandstone of Dura Den have been separated, to find a conspicuous position in the cases of the entrance lobby.

The Museum contains a series of rock-specimens illustrating various sections across the Grampians, collected by Colonel Imrie, and presented by the late Dr Govan, and a general series of the rocks of Scotland.

Arranged collections of Mammals, Birds, Reptiles, and Amphibians occupy the other cases of the large hall: arrows indicate the direction in which each collection should be examined.

The upper hall contains the Local collections :-A classified series of the birds of the district; of the fishes (including illustrations of their eggs and development), crustaceans, and molluscs; spirit-preparations of the various invertebrate groups. A temporary collection for teaching purposes is at present displayed here. There will be also found in the lobby a number of cinerary urns and human skulls found in the neighbourhood of St Andrews; and also ponderous sculptured stones, and other objects of archæological interest.

The osteological collection is exhibited in the room opposite the large hall, as well as in proper order in the groups.

The Museum is under the management of a Joint-Committee, representing the University Court, the Senatus Academicus, and the Literary and Philosophical Society of St Andrews.

The Public are freely admitted to the Museum on certain days; and, at other times, under the personal charge of the Janitor, upon the payment of a small fee. Each member of the Literary and Philosophical Society has the privilege of free admission for himself and a party of six, under his personal charge; and all students are admitted free.
