than usually desirable publications, and in the following cases 

 this includes back sets as well as current issues: 



Her edit as, 



A eta Zoologica, 



Annalen des Naturhistorischen Museums, Vienna, 



Archives Neerlandaises de Physiologic,

The completion of our sets of serial publications is one of the 

 important aims of the library administration. It is, therefore, 

 gratifying to report that we have been able to complete the 

 following by purchase: 



Allgemeine botanische Zeitschrift, Vols. 1-25, 



Botanische Jahrbucher, Vols. 1-56, 



Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 



Vols. i-ii, 



Zeitschrift fur Botanik, Vols. 1-13, 

 Zoological Record, Vols. 31-57. 



The dictionary catalogue which was begun in 1920, now con- 

 tains 11,051 cards, and work has started on the transfer of cards 

 from the old classified catalogue. 



The increase in the use of the Library has continued, the cir- 

 culation during 1922 being about 1,200 items, besides 30 volumes 

 borrowed from other libraries. 



We still lack many reprints of w r ork done at Woods Hole, 

 and authors are requested to look over the reprints in the Li- 

 brary and to send us what are lacking. Among the special 

 needs of the Library are a complete set of the Philosophical 

 Transactions of the Royal Society, a good encyclopedia, and 

 bibliographical aids, such as the Royal Society Catalogue of 

 Scientific Papers, and several sections of the International 

 Catalogue of Scientific Literature.
