Miscellaneous 
The customary exhibits of books were arranged for the spring 
inspection and special flower days, also a display of seed and 
nursery catalogues during the week of March 3-10. 
The installation of the new book cases on the balcony and secon 
ae 
floor of the stack-room provided shelf space in the main library 
for several thousand volumes which had been stored in the base- 
ment for a number of years. This made necessary the moving 
and rearrangement of the entire book collection. 
A large accumulation of duplicates, comprising books, pamphlets 
and periodicals received from time to time as gifts or in exchange 
for Brooklyn Botanic Garden publications, was offered for sale to 
booksellers and finally disposed of for a substantial sum. 
Through arrangement with the American Fern Society, all the 
books belonging to the Society have been deposited in our library 
where they will be maintained as a separate collection. They are 
available for general use in the library or may be borrowed by 
the Society « 
r other organizations or institutions under the same 
rules and regulations that govern the loan of our own books (see 
Appendix 8, p. 164). 
The statistical report follows. 
Respectfully submitted, 
CaLvIn W. I*oss, 
Librarian.
