All the foreign periodicals have been received regularly during 
the past year, except those printed in the German language. We 
did, however, forward to the Library of Congress an “ Applica- 
tion for a Permit” to ship the periodicals held at Leipzig. This 
application has been approved by Mr. Putnam, librarian of the 
Congressional Library, and forwarded to the Department of 
State for transmission to the British authorities. No applications 
for any but back numbers of periodicals are at present being 
accepted. 
State Publications 
Idaho; Iowa; Maine, Department of Agriculture, as distinct 
from the Agricultural Experiment Station; North Carolina Geo- 
logical and Economic Survey ; West Virginia Agricultural Experi- 
ment Station, have been added to the list of states from which we 
are to receive literature as issued by them, thus making a total of 
fifty-one state sources. Correspondence with agricultural experi- 
ment stations from which we have not received literature for 
some time has brought new publications from those states, and in 
this way we have filled in the numerous gaps. Invariably the 
stations are very generous, providing the missing numbers are 
still in print. Both the state institutions, the United States De- 
partment of Agriculture and allied departments have shown a 
splendid spirit in their cooperation with institution libraries such 
as the Garden’s. 
From the records on file, it is shown that 12,157 volumes, 
pamphlets, and parts, exclusive of current periodicals, were re- 
ceived and handled, as well as 2,093 parts of current periodicals, 
which had to be recorded, taken care of, and shelved. 
Since September 20, when the present librarian entered upon 
her duties, the following work, aside from routine, has been car- 
ried on with the aid of Miss Tikiob and Miss Mann:
