A catalogue of the library Avas prepared and published 

 under direction of the Board under date of June 1, l<Sl)y. 

 On that date the library contained 3,1<SI bound volumes. 

 As an interval of five years has elapsed since the publication 

 of the catalogue, and as about 500 volumes have been added 

 to the library, it is suggested that there be pul)lished the 

 present year, preferably under date of June 1 , a supplemen- 

 tary catalogue, under the title of "Library Bulletin No. 1 : 

 accessions to the office library." It is further suggested that 

 the issue be limited to 500 copies, to be supplied to institu- 

 tions and individuals having copies of the library catalogue ; 

 and that the expense of })rinting and distributing the bulletin 

 be paid from the appro})riation for contingent and incidental 

 expenses in the office of the Board. A preliminary copy of 

 the proposed bulletin is submitted as a part of the librarian's 

 report for 1903. 



Respectfully, 



F. H. FOWLER, 



Librariaii.
