It will be observed that provision is made for the revision of each

 revision is now in progress in the Bureau of Animal Industiy. Owing 

 to the magnitude of the work, considerable time will be required to 

 complete it. In this connection it is interesting to note that 370,000 

 copies of the Report on Di.seases of the Horse and 130,000 copies of 

 the Special Report on Diseases of Cattle and on Cattle Feeding have 

 heretofore been printed by authority of Congress, the distribution of

PHOTOGRAPHIC WORK. 



Special reference should be made to the increasing amount of pho- 

 tographic work done l)y this Division for the various Bureaus, Divi- 

 sions, and Offices of the Department, a summary of which for the year 

 is as follows: 



Photographs on wood 44 



Prints retouched 91 



Prints mounted _ . _ . . . 134 



Films and negatives developed ^ 174 



Prints made from negatives 418 



Blue and black prints 467 



So extensive has become this l)ranch of the work that enlarged 

 quarters are urgently needed, without which the usefulness of the 

 Division along tlie lines mentioned can not be further extended. This 

 work was done b}' Mr. Louis S. Williams, who also engraved on wood 

 during the year 25 illustrations of various sizes and kinds.
