Library —The additions to the working library of the 
Bureau were unprecedented in number and value, particularly 
in respect to standard works of reference; meantime the nor- 
mal growth due to accessions through exchange has continued, 
At the close .of the fiscal year the contents of the library 
comprised 7,138 volumes, in addition to several thousand 
pamphlets and periodicals. 
Illustrations —During the earlier part of the year the prep- 
aration of illustrations for reports was continued under the 
direction of Mr DeLancey W. Gill, the photographic work being 
executed by Mr William Dinwiddie. Toward the end of the 
calendar year Mr Dinwiddie retired from the Bureau, and on 
January 1 Mr Wells M. Sawyer, formerly of the Geological 
Survey, was placed in charge of the illustrative work, includ- 
ing photography. ‘This arrangement has been found satis- 
factory, and the illustrative work is now carried forward 
acceptably in all of its phases. Mr Henry Walther has aided 
Mr Sawyer efficiently in cataloguing and classifying negatives 
and prints, as well as in photographic printing. 
Exhibits—As noted incidentally in earlier paragraphs, an 
exhibit was prepared for the Tennessee Centennial Exposition 
in Nashville. It comprises half of a Kiowa camp-circle, repre- 
sented in miniature, occupying a semicircular area with a 
radius of about 20 feet in a central portion of the Government 
Building. The installation of the material was completed in 
time ag the formal opening, and before the end of the fiscal 
year it became evident that the display will be generally 
regarded as attractive and successful.
