84 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1947 



Of tiie material accumulated at the Institution during the war, there 

 remained at the beginning of the fiscal year 196,082 pounds. This war 

 backlog was reduced to 69,020 but owing to enforced decrease in 

 shipments during the last quarter of the year the actual backlog at the 

 end of the year was 110.998 pounds. 



Consignments are now forwarded to all countries except Rumania 

 and Yugoslavia. Shipments to these countries will probably be re- 

 sumed during the coming year. The notable resumptions of exchange 

 are with Germany and Japan, which were effected with the cooperation 

 of the Civil Affairs Division of he War Department.
