The report of the audit of the Smithsonian Private Funds follows: 
WASHINGTON, D.C., August 25, 1958. 
THE BoarpD OF REGENTS, 
SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, Washington 25, D.C. 
We have examined the statement of private funds of Smithsonian Institu- 
tion as of June 30, 1958 and the related statement of private funds cash re- 
ceipts and disbursements (but excluding the National Gallery of Art and other 
Gepartments, bureaus or operations administered by the Institution under Fed- 
eral appropriations) for the year then ended. Our examination was made in 
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly in- 
cluded such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures 
as we considered necessary in the circumstances. 
Land, buildings, furniture, equipment, works of art, living and other speci- 
mens and certain sundry property are not included in the accounts of the 
Institution. 
In our opinion, the accompanying statements present fairly the financial posi- 
tion of Smithsonian Institution at June 30, 1958 arising from cash transactions 
and revenues collected and expenses disbursed by it (and changes in proprietary 
interest and fund balances where reflected in cash basis statements) during the 
year then ended, on a basic consistent with that of the preceding year.
