II. — Government Exchanges. 



The Smithsonian Institution, charged by the Government of the 

 United States with the duties required for the execution of an exchange 

 of oflBcial public documents with foreign Governments, as provided for 

 by the laws of March 2, 1867, and July 25, 1868, has, during the past 

 year, received from the Public Printer three hundred and seventy-one 

 sets (of fifty copies each) of official publications. These were distrib- 

 uted in the usual manner to the contracting Governments of thirty- 

 eight countries. 



The Governments of Peru and Austria were added to the list, thus 

 increasing the number of recipients to forty. 



EXCHANGE WITH AUSTRIA. 



The first step toward establishing exchange relations with the Gov- 

 ernment of Austria was taken in 1876, by the transmission of the first 

 two boxes of official publications, which were deposited in the Imperial 

 Library at Vienna.
