Through additional exchanges with other institutions, ar- 

 ranged during the year, the number of journals, periodicals, 

 and reports now received by us for sending our own publica- 

 tions, is 257 as against 207 during 1901. 



The rapid growth of the Library has filled nearly all the 

 shelves available, but under the provisions of the new furni- 

 ture contract, shelving for about one fourth more volumes 

 will be obtained within a few weeks. 



Museum and Herbarium. 



As shown by the report of the Curator, hereto appended, 

 it appears that about 67,000 specimens have been received for 

 the museums and herbarium, and that about 90,000 speci- 

 mens have been incorporated into the several permanent col- 

 lections ; thus at least 23,000 specimens previously received, 

 have been brought into use for study. Labeling for the pub- 

 lic collections has gone forward continually, and is at present 

 in a satisfactory state of advancement.
