 Pamflet, Issued on the Occasion of the Dedication of the Administration Building at 



Washington, December 13, 1909. Octavo, 32 pages, 1 plate, 20 figures. 



As fast as the steel shelving of the storage vaults of the Administration 

 Building became available during the present year, steps were taken to 



collect and to arrange in safe and orderly condition the 

 Storage of Public*- publications of the Institution, which have accumulated 



somewhat rapidly in recent years. These had been stored, 

 chiefly in packing boxes, partly in the Bond Building and partly in the attic 

 of the Geophysical Laboratory. They are now all catalogd, secured in dust- 

 proof packages, and stackt so that they may be redily inspected and cared 

 for. Since the walls of the vaults are impervious to moisture and since the 

 moisture of the air within them may be controld by the heating plant, the 

 volumes in storage may be considerd reasonably secure against the usual 

 sources of damage and deterioration. 



The gross amounts receivd annually from sales of publications, including 



subscriptions to the Index Medicus, are shown in the fourth colum of the 



c t t i3 ti. .- table on page 16 of this report. The amounts receivd
