further increase the utility of the Catalogue for purposes of reference, the contents of all the chief Collections of Voyages, such as Hakluyt, Purchas, Burney, Callander, Harris, Kerr, the Hakluyt Society, &c., together with Articles from the Encyclopædia Britannica' and similar works, Magazine Articles, and Papers extracted from the Proceedings of learned Societies, Almanacs, Handbooks, &c., have been placed under the Colonies to which they refer. It will thus be seen that an attempt has been made to embody in this Catalogue all publications of a distinctly Colonial character, the whole of which are carefully indexed, and so rendered easily accessible. The system adopted is in some respects similar to that of the York Gate Catalogue of the Library of Mr. S. W. SILVER (a former Member of the Council of this Institute), to whom, as well as to Mr. E. A. PETHERICK, I am indebted for many useful hints and suggestions. JAMES R. BOOSÉ, Librarian. December 1894. 1.
