Puhlications. — Annual and biennial reports were issued, and, in 

 addition, up to 1900, 20 bulletins, including the last issued under 

 the Cooper administration and bearing the date 1901. The subject 

 matter of all these is largely of an economic nature and much of 

 necessity of only transient value. The tenth annual report, it should 

 be noted, issued during the administration of William Irelan, Jr., 

 contained a colored geological map of the State. • 



The bureau is still in active existence at the time this publica- 

 tion goes to press. 



Musevni and library. — An extensive museum and valuable library 

 have been built up under the organization, the same being at present 

 housed on the second floor of the Ferry Building, at the foot of 

 Market Street. The library, in the report for 1907, was said to con- 

 tain upwards of 4,000 to 5,000 volumes and many pamphlets.
