LIBRARIAN'S REPORT. 417 



the remainder of the set, which is now in the 94th volume, has 

 been secured. 



Exchanges now number 29; six have been arranged this year: 

 Indian Museum; American Journal of Botany; New York Academy 

 of Sciences; Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia; Biologische 

 Untersuchungen, Stockholm; and Zoologiska Bidrag, Upsala. New- 

 subscriptions have been placed for the Popular Science Monthly 

 and the English Journal of Physiology. 



Here we must report a partial disposition of the Journal Fund 

 which was begun in 1912. Since then, a number have subscribed 

 to this fund which is to enable us to secure new files of journals. 

 Drs. Mayer, Knower, Meigs, Rice and Just have subscribed 

 from $5 to $10 a year for a period of five years. This has already 

 furnished $55 and will still accumulate from new gifts. 



In addition, last year Mr. Tashiro and a number of other in- 

 vestigators, interested in securing the English Journal of Physi- 

 ology, subscribed amounts from 50 cents to $i each, thus securing 

 $7.50. This sum has now been increased to $12. For this, we 

 must thank Drs. Tashiro, Heilbrunn, Gould, Wherry, Packard, 

 Sturtevant, Bridges, Harvey, Metz, and Morgan, and Misses 

 Hoge, Medes, Browne, and Dunn. Such cooperation is most 

 encouraging. It makes possible a purchase long needed. We 

 have subscribed to the Journal with this gift and have used the 

 amount already accumulated for the Journal Fund to purchase 

 a number of back volumes, hoping gradually complete to the set. 



Further growth in this spirit of cooperation in building up the 

 library is shown in the list of important gifts. 



Various publishers have given a total of 16 books this year. 

 Miss Fay has given several quite valuable books on mushrooms. 

 Mr. Crane gave us two hundred volumes from his personal 

 library, as well as two very interesting Russian curios. Dr. 

 George T. Moore gave duplicates from his library, 28 bound 

 volumes and 21 separates. Dr. Philipp Fischelis donated 53 

 valuable papers by Kowalewsky and other Russian authors. 

 Dr. Conklin has given his book on "Heredity and Environment," 

 Dr. Parker, his book on "Biology and Social Problems," and Dr. 

 Abbott has ordered a copy of his book on "General Biology" 

 sent to us. Dr. Calkins also presented his texbook on "Biology."
