the binder, mainly comprising completed volumes of periodicals, 
as compared with 255 volumes for 1920. Requests were made to 
fifty-two state agricultural experiment stations for publications 
missing from our files. These resulted in the receipt of 937 an- 
nual reports, bulletins, circulars, and other titles. These additions 
to our agricultural experiment station literature materially aug- 
ment our collection, and we hope to bind completed sets in the near 
future. Over 4,600 rewritten pamphlet cards were revised and 
filed into the dictionary catalog, thus making it possible to consult 
one catalog for all publications in the library. A file of Brooklyn 
Botanic Garden exchanges was prepared for library use. 
On the other hand, the librarian has been unable to make satis- 
factory progress with the serial shelf list and catalog, due to the 
increased amount of time spent in checking book catalogs and the 
increased amount of classifying and cataloging made necessary by 
current accessions.
