REPORT OF THE SECRETARY 63 



The Index to Schoolcraft's Indian Tribes has been completed. 

 Publications distributed totaled 19,527. 



LIBRARY 



The library continued under the direction of Miss Miriam B. 

 Ketchum, librarian. Accessions during the year totaled 223. 



The exchange list has been completely revised and brought up 

 to date, and seven new exchange sets have been added. 



The rare book section was finished early in the fiscal year, and 

 the rarest items and many others of importance have been shelved 

 in it. More than half of these books have been recataloged and 

 classified and permanently labeled and shelved. 



All the publications of North American societies and institutions 

 have been sorted and all matter not in the field of the Bureau dis- 

 carded as far as possible. 



The librarian attended the meetings of the Inter-American 

 Bibliographical and Historical Society at Washington, D. C., in 

 February, and the Special Libraries Association at Baltimore in May. 



The usual routine work of accessioning and cataloging new mate- 

 rial and entering new periodicals received has been kept up to date.
