REPORT OF THE SECRETARY. 61 



also information has been furnished and bibliographic notes compiled 

 for the use of correspondents. 



During the year the work of cataloguing has been carried on as new 

 accessions were acquired and good progress was made in cataloguing 

 ethnologic and related articles in the earlier serials. 



Attention has been given to the preparation of volumes for binding, 

 with the result that 502 books were sent to the bindery. The number 

 of books borrowed from the Library of Congress for the use of the 

 staff of the bureau in prosecuting their researches was about 400. 



A pressing problem is the congestion of books on the shelves. For 

 some time the library has been overcrowded and we are now taxed to 

 find room for the current accessions. 



The library is constantly referred to by students not connected with 

 the bureau, as well as by various officials of the Government service.
