40 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 19 3 5 



United States governmental documents and the remainder (1,727) 

 were for distribution to miscellaneous establishments and in- 

 dividuals. 



In addition to the packages sent abroad in boxes, 58,873 packages 

 were transmitted directly to their destinations by mail. 



In July 1934 a valuable consignment of exchanges, consisting of 

 eight boxes from New South Wales, was destroyed by fire and 

 water on the pier at New York. Five of the boxes contained pub- 

 lications requested by the Institution to complete the collections of 

 official documents of the Government of New South Wales in the 

 Library of Congress. These publications were procured by the 

 Public Library in Sydney, which conducts the Exchange Agency 

 for New South Wales. The Principal Librarian of the Public 

 Library has advised the Institution that he would keep the list of 

 wanted publications in hand and from time to time endeavor again 

 to obtain copies of as many of the documents as are available.
