REPORT OF THE SECRETARY. 79 



eign countries, there are now received for distribution to depositories 

 abroad 56 full sets of United States official publications and 37 par- 

 tial sets, two depositories having been added during the year, as 

 referred to below. 



An arrangement for an exchange of a full set of official documents 

 between the Governments of Czechoslovakia and the United States 

 was entered into in the summer of 1919, but the details of transmis- 

 sion were not perfected until near the close of the fiscal year, and 

 the first shipment to that country will be made during the month of 

 July, 1920. It might be added as a matter of record that the con- 

 signment will consist of 25 boxes containing governmental docu- 

 ments received at the Institution since January 27, 1919, the Czecho- 

 slovak Government being requested to send to the United States 

 copies of its own documents covering the same period. It is under- 

 stood that the publications from this country will be deposited in 

 the Ministere de l'Instruction Publique at Prague. 



In August, 1919, the State of Rio de Janeiro was added to the list 

 of those countries receiving partial sets. The documents are de- 

 posited in the Bibliotheca da Assemblea Legislativa do Estado do 

 Rio de Janeiro in Nictheroy. 



Since Alsace-Lorraine has been restored to France the Biblio- 

 theque Universitaire et Regionale de Strasbourg has been designated 

 as the depository of the partial set sent to that province. 



The depository in Finland since that country established its inde- 

 pendence has been changed from the Chancery of Governor to the 

 Central Library of the State, Helsingfors.
