Loans 
The usual collection of books was forwarded to the Biological 
Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, for the summer school. Pub- 
lications were also loaned to the Brooklyn Museum and the Mu- 
nicipal Reference Library, New York. 
Our library gratefully acknowledges the loan of several books 
during the year from the Brooklyn Museum. 
Summary 
In addition to the usual routine of preparing publications for 
use, filing cards currently received, reshelving to make room for 
new accessions, we list below the special work the library has had 
in hand: 
The Florida Agricultural Experiment Station gift of 5,833 
parts of publications was incorporated with our experiment sta- 
tion literature. 
The inclusive numbers of annual reports, bulletins, circulars, 
of agricultural experiment stations are now noted on the back of 
each folder, so that one knows at a glance, without the necessity 
of opening the folder, which publication the library possesses. 
About 400 publications from the binder were made ready for 
use. 
The various gifts of the year, in all 199 volumes, 177 pam- 
phlets, and 1,655 parts, were prepared for the shelves. 
Two thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven experiment sta- 
tion index cards were re-arranged, thus completing the task of 
arranging this catalog according to the “ Key to subject index of 
experiment station literature.” _ 
The 122 volumes of Curtis’ Botanical Magazine were labelled, 
each volume now showing its inclusive plate numbers, thus facili- 
tating the use of this valuable reference work. 
Fresh labels were typewritten for the current periodical table, 
the shelves containing the experiment station literature, and new 
labels with Willson’s gummed letters were inserted for library 
stacks. 
The cataloging of serials is progressing though not as quickly 
as one would wish. .
