90 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 193 6 



response to inquiries of a miscellaneous character from correspondents 

 throughout the country. 



NEEDS 



The needs of the library remain the same — more trained assistants, 

 more funds for binding and for purchasing necessary books and peri- 

 odicals that cannot be obtained in exchange, and more shelf room for 

 several of the important collections that have outgrown their 

 accommodations. 

 Respectfully submitted. 



William L. Corbin, Librarian. 

 Dr. C. G. Abbot, 



Secretat^^ Smithsonian Institution.
