  DISTRIBUTION 
  OF 
  PUBLICATIONS 
  

  

  The 
  distribution 
  of 
  the 
  publications 
  of 
  the 
  bureau 
  has 
  been 
  contin- 
  

   ued 
  under 
  the 
  immediate 
  charge 
  of 
  Miss 
  Helen 
  Munroe, 
  assisted 
  by 
  

   Miss 
  Emma 
  B, 
  Powers. 
  Publications 
  were 
  distributed 
  as 
  follows 
  :

  As 
  compared 
  with 
  the 
  fiscal 
  year 
  ending 
  June 
  30, 
  1926, 
  there 
  was 
  a 
  

   decrease 
  of 
  3,079 
  publications 
  distributed. 
  This 
  was 
  partly 
  due 
  to 
  

   the 
  fact 
  that 
  one 
  less 
  publication 
  was 
  distributed 
  to 
  the 
  mailing 
  list 
  

   than 
  in 
  the 
  previous 
  year. 
  

  

  Six 
  addresses 
  were 
  added 
  to 
  the 
  mailing 
  list 
  during 
  the 
  year 
  and 
  

   31 
  taken 
  from 
  the 
  list, 
  making 
  a 
  net 
  decrease 
  of 
  25. 
  The 
  list 
  now 
  

   stands 
  at 
  1,713.

  About 
  70 
  per 
  cent 
  of 
  the 
  photographic 
  laboratory 
  work 
  for 
  the 
  

   bureau 
  was 
  done 
  by 
  Dr. 
  A. 
  J. 
  Olmsted, 
  of 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  National 
  

   Museum; 
  and 
  50 
  per 
  cent 
  of 
  the 
  illustration 
  work 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Gill 
  was 
  

   for 
  the 
  publications 
  of 
  the 
  various 
  bureaus 
  of 
  the 
  Smithsonian 
  in 
  

   cooperation. 
  This 
  arrangement 
  has 
  proved 
  eminently 
  satisfactory 
  

   in 
  the 
  past 
  year, 
  with 
  a 
  substantial 
  saving 
  of 
  more 
  than 
  80 
  per 
  cent 
  

   of 
  the 
  former 
  cost.

   and 
  exchange; 
  also 
  3,950 
  serials, 
  chiefly 
  the

  of 
  learned 
  

   societies, 
  were 
  received 
  and 
  recorded, 
  of 
  which 
  only 
  102 
  were 
  ob-
