The receipts of works from abroad, in exchange for those sent out hj 

 the Smithsonian Institution, are much greater than those of last year- 

 Many of these were of very great value, comprising a large number of more

 eration of these, I would refer to the Report of the Assistant Secre- 

 tary in charge of the Library.
