 directors of agricultural experiment stations, to presidents and 

 libraries of agricultural colleges, to the public libraries of Mas- 

 sachusetts, and all other libraries on our mailing list, to the

 report contains technical monographs giving the results of re- 

 search work, and a large number of copies are reserved to meet 

 future demands. Part II. of our annual report, which contains 

 the more jjopular papers, and our bulletins are sent to all those 

 on our general mailing list, to the public libraries of the State, 

 to those on the mailing list of the United States Department of 

 Agriculture likely to be interested, and to experiment stations 

 and agricultural colleges. It is our aim to reserve a consider- 

 able number of each publication to meet subsequent demands, 

 l)ut the demand has grown so rapidly that the supi)ly of most, 

 as will be noted from the above list of available publications, has 

 been exhausted. The meteorological bulletins are sent only to 

 agricultural college and experiment station libraries, presidents 

 and directors, to the Department of Agriculture and Ofhce of 

 Experiment Stations, to newspapers and to libraries and indi- 

 viduals who have especially requested them. 



Our circulars are printed for use in connection with the cor- 

 respondence of the station. It is only by the use of such cir- 

 culars that we are able to give information and advice on the 

 many problems on which we are consulted. These circulars are 

 sent only as above stated or on request. An abstract of all ini- 

 ])<irtant }»ublications is furnished to the press, and requests for 

 any issued will be met as long as the supply permits.
