The library has been augmented to the extent of 425 titles — 80 

 acquired by transfer, 101 by purchase, and the remainder by dona- 

 tion. With the increasing number of subjects under investigation, 

 the library must of necessity grow to meet the resulting demands, 

 and notwithstanding arrangements with the Library of Congress 

 and other institutions in Washington for the loan of books, it is often 

 impossible to obtain in this manner the technical works required, and 

 considerable purchases must continue. 



The extension of research work at the Woods Hole laboratory and 

 the many lines of inquiry there undertaken necessitate a good work- 

 ing library, and numerous accessions were made during the year. 

 Working libraries are also being established and augmented as rap- 

 idly as possible at the laboratories at Fairport and Beaufort. 



Intimate relations are maintained with the Library of Congress, 

 and the Bureau is indebted to it for loans and for gifts of many 

 valuable books from among its duplicates. The library has also 

 agreed to print author and subject catalogue cards for the Bureau, ,
