were stapled into Gaylord pamphlet pressboard binders. Authors' 

 names and titles were printed on the front covers to facilitate 

 shelving and finding them. This completes the binding into press- 

 board covers of the entire pamphlet collection, consisting of 5,998 

 pamphlets ; in reply to our letters to the agricultural experiment 

 stations, and various U. S. departments, we received 868 publica- 

 tions lacking from our shelves. We were especially gratified to 

 receive these, as they included earlier numbers, so difficult to obtain 

 at present.
