As shown by the geographical arrangement, 3,594 distinct titles, rep- 

 resenting 5,730 references, were reported by the collaborators, and it was 

 part of my instructions to ascertain how many of these were already 

 correspondents of the Institution. 



Subtracting from the number of titles the 400 approximated from the 

 unclassified list of books in the west room of the Patent Office Library, 

 and the 806 published in the United States, 2,328 foreign serials remain, 

 and of these 792, or 34 per cent., occur in our list of foreign correspond-

 correction of titles, given in many cases but very indistinctly, and by 

 the assignment to the proper society on the list of corresi)ondents of 

 magazines and journals properly to be designated under the name of 

 the society; and it is believed that upon that correction nearly one-half 

 of all the foreign titles given may be considered as correspondents of 

 the Institution. 



I beg here to state that owing to the press of routine duties all the 

 work connected with the library inquiry has been i>erformed by me in 

 my leisure hours.
