REPORT OF THE SECRETARY 37 



LIBRARY 



The reference library has continued under the care of Miss Ella 

 Leary, librarian. The library consists of 31,101 volumes, 17,189 

 pamphlets, and several thousand unbound periodicals. During the 

 year 400 books were accessioned, of which 47 were acquired by pur- 

 chase, the remainder being received through gift and exchange of 

 Bureau publications; also 94 pamphlets and 3,125 serials, chiefly 

 the publications of learned societies, were received and recorded. 

 Books loaned during the year numbered 1,069. In the process of 

 cataloging, 1,550 cards were added to the catalog files. Requisition 

 was made on the Library of Congress during the year for 140 vol- 

 umes for official use. This year, more than in previous years, advan- 

 tage was taken of the interlibrary loan service for books needed by 

 the staff. 



As usual, hundreds of publications were consulted in the library 

 during the year by investigators and students, other than members 

 of the Smithsonian Institution. Individual contributors both at 

 home and abroad continued to show their interest by sending contri- 

 butions to the library.
