Sir : I have the honor to submit the following report on the publica- 

 tions of the Smithsonian Institution and the Government branches 

 under its administrative charge during the year ended June 30, 1945 : 



The Institution published during the year 6 papers in the Smith- 

 sonian Miscellaneous Collections; 2 papers in the War Background 

 Studies series; 1 Annual Report of the Board of Regents and pam- 

 phlet copies of 23 articles in the Report appendix ; and 2 special pub- 

 lications. It also reprinted 2 volumes of the Smithsonian Miscella- 

 neous Collections, 17 War Background Studies papers, and 3 special 

 publications. 



Owing to the paper shortage, the Secretary's Report for 1944 was 

 not printed as a separate pamphlet, but was mimeographed, in con- 

 densed form, for the use of the Board of Regents. This report, in- 

 cluding the financial report of the executive committee of the Board 

 of Regents, will form a part of the Annual Report of the Board of 

 Regents to Congress for the year ended June 30, 1944.
