In order to keep pace with the current serial, historical, and legal literature of the times, an appropriation of the small sum of $200 per annum, for the ensuing two years, would seem to be desirable and necessary.

I have not been able to comply with the law in regard to keeping a set of Meteorological Tables, the Library not having been supplied with the apparatus necessary to effect that object.

In compliance with law, I have published a catalogue of the Library, which, with this report, is respectfully submitted to the consideration of your honorable body.

J. E. TENNEY,

State Librarian.
