72 llErORT OF THE SECRETARY. 



(ioveniiiiental excliaii^'es for Qiiel)C'c, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnij^eg, and Mexico 

 are not retained at the Institution until an entire box has accumulated, but are 

 proiuptly dispatclied by legistered mail as soon as received. 



During the year several depositories have been added and reserve sets ha\ e l)een 

 contributed, as follows: 



The Commonwealth of Australia, the seat of which is temporarily at Melbourne, 

 was added in December, 1901, and on the 19th of that month 68 boxes were shipped 

 in care of the attorney-general of the Commonwealth. 



On September 4, 1901, a shipment was made to the National Library of Ireland at 

 Dublin, consisting of 81 boxes, and the same number was forwarded to the Legisla- 

 tive Library at Quebec on July 26, 1901. 



The Legislative Library of INIanitoba at Winnipeg was jilaced on the list of deposi- 

 tories January 16, 1902, Init only selections have thus far been provided. It is 

 expected, however, that a more liberal contribution will be made when the addi- 

 tional copies provided under the joint resolution of March 2, 1901, are received from 

 the Public Printer. 



Respectfully submitted.
