J 



We now have a total of 6,500 volumes and 4,778 pamphlets. 



In rewriting the pamphlet catalog the title page of each pam- 

 phlet was compared with its old card. In this way an inventory 

 was taken of the entire pamphlet collection. The difference be- 



n 



tween the number of pamphlets here given and the old figures is 

 due to the fact that publications counted by us as "parts of pub- 

 lications/' such as Bulletins, were included prior to 1916 in the 

 pamphlet collection. This error has now been rectified. 



Periodicals 



Sixty-four new titles have been added to the current periodical 

 file, fifty-two of which are received in exchange. The total num- 

 ber of current periodicals now received in the library is 453. In 



this way 5454 parts of publications were received and prepared 

 for the shelves during the year. 



Nine state departments of agriculture and twenty-one exten- 

 sion divisions of agricultural experiment stations have been added 

 to the exchange list. 



Among the new titles are the Annales of the Jardin botanique, 

 Buitenzorg; Ecology; The Florida Entomologist; The Flozver
