  EEPOET 
  ON 
  THE 
  INTERNATIONAL 
  CATALOGUE 
  OF 
  

   SCIENTIFIC 
  LITERATURE 
  

  

  Sir: 
  I 
  have 
  the 
  honor 
  to 
  submit 
  herewith 
  the 
  following 
  report 
  

   on 
  the 
  operations 
  of 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  regional 
  bureau 
  of 
  the 
  Inter- 
  

   national 
  Catalogue 
  of 
  Scientific 
  Literature 
  for 
  the 
  fiscal 
  year 
  ending 
  

   June 
  30, 
  1927 
  : 
  

  

  Since 
  1921, 
  when 
  war 
  conditions 
  in 
  the 
  majority 
  of 
  the 
  33 
  countries 
  

   cooperating 
  in 
  the 
  enterprise 
  made 
  it 
  impossible 
  for 
  them 
  to 
  provide 
  

   their 
  quota 
  of 
  the 
  funds 
  needed 
  to 
  continue 
  publication, 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  

   the 
  aim 
  of 
  this 
  bureau 
  to 
  collect 
  and 
  record 
  the 
  data 
  necessary 
  to 
  

   enable 
  it 
  to 
  supjDly, 
  when 
  publication 
  is 
  resumed, 
  an 
  index 
  to 
  the 
  

   scientific 
  publications 
  of 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  and 
  its 
  possessions, 
  and 
  

   this 
  routine 
  has 
  been 
  the 
  principal 
  part 
  of 
  its 
  work 
  during 
  the 
  year. 
  

  

  A 
  partial
