SiR.s: Pursuant to agreement we have audited the accounts of the Smithsonian 

 Institution for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1934, and certify the balance of 

 cash on hand June 30, 1934, to be $252,018.80 [which includes $1,900 held in 

 cash at the Institution]. 



We iiave verified the record of receipts and disbursements maintained by the 

 Institution and the agreement of the book balances with the bank balances. 



We have examined all the securities in the custody of the Institution and in 

 the custody of the banks and found them to agree with the book records. 



We have compared the stated income of such securities with the receipts of 

 record and found them in agreement therewith. 



We have examined all vouchers covering disbursements for account of the In- 

 stitution during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1934, together with the authority 

 therefor, and have compared them with the Institution's record of expenditures 

 and found them to agree. 



We have examined and verified the accounts of the Institution with each trust 

 fund. 



We found the books of account and records well and accurately kept and the 

 securities conveniently filed and securely cared for. 



All information requested by your auditoi-s was promptly and courteously
