 for exchange [)ur|)Oses under the law. In reply, the Director stated, 

 February 2(;, 18S4 : 



" Under tlu^ law of March 2, 18G7, fifty copies of everything published 

 by us should be sent to tlie Library of Congress and thence to the Smith- 

 sonian Institution, by the Public Printer, and such co})ies are reserved 

 for that puri)ose and do not come into our possession. 



Under tlic statutes relating to the publication of the xMonogra[ilis of 

 the Survey it wouhl be impossible to spare any copies from the three
