regular recipients. About 1,500 copies of Bulletin 30, Part 
I, and 200 copies of the Twenty-fourth Annual, as well as 
numerous bulletins and separates, were distributed in 
response to special requests, presented for the most part by 
Members of Congress. 
The distribution of publications was continued as in 
former years. The great increase in the number of libraries 
in the country and the multiplication of demands from the 
public generally have resulted in the almost immediate 
exhaustion of the quota of volumes (3,500) allotted to the 
Bureau. Few copies of any of the reports remain six 
months after the date of issue. 
LIBRARY 
The library remains in charge of Miss Ella Leary, who was 
able to bring the accessioning and cataloguing of books, 
pamphlets, and periodicals up to date. In all, there have 
been received and recorded during the year 760 volumes, 
1,200 pamphlets, and the current issues of upward of 500 
periodicals, while about 500 volumes have been bound at the 
Government Printing Office. The library now contains 
13,657 volumes, 9,800 pamphlets, and several thousand 
copies of periodicals which relate to anthropology. The 
purchase of books and periodicals has been restricted to such 
as relate to anthropology and, more especially, to such as 
have a direct bearing on the American aborigines. 
COLLECTIONS 
The collections of the year comprise large series of objects 
obtained by Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, in his excavations at 
Casa Grande Ruins, Arizona, conducted under the imme- 
diate auspices of the Smithsonian Institution, and by Mrs. 
M. C. Stevenson in Zufi and Taos pueblos, New Mexico. 
Some of the minor collections are a cache of stone knife 
blades from the vicinity of Tenleytown, District of Columbia, 
obtained through the kindness of Mr. C. C. Glover; a series 
of relics (fragments of pottery) from the temple of Diana at 
Caldecote, presented by Mr. Robert C. Nightingale; relics
