We have examined the balance sheet of private funds of Smithsonian Institu- 

 tion as of June 30, 1962, and the related statement of current general private 

 funds receipts and disbursements and the several statements of changes in funds 

 for the year then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with gen- 

 erally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the 

 accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered neces- 

 sary in the circumstances. 



Land, building, furniture, equipment, works of art, living and other specimens 

 and certain sundry property are not included in the accounts of the Institution ; 

 likewise, the accompanying statements do not include the National Gallery of 

 Art and other departments, bureaus and operations administered by the Insti- 

 tution under Federal appropriations. The accounts of the Institution are main- 

 tained on the basis of cash receipts and disbursements, with the result that the 

 accompanying statements do not reflect income earned but not collected or ex- 

 penses incurred but not paid.
