  LIBRARY 
  

  

  The 
  library 
  remained 
  in 
  charge 
  of 
  Miss 
  Ella 
  Leary, 
  who 
  

   completed 
  the 
  work 
  of 
  accessioning 
  and 
  cataloguing 
  the 
  

   books, 
  pamphlets, 
  and 
  periodicals 
  up 
  to 
  date. 
  Owing 
  to 
  the 
  

   crowded 
  condition 
  of 
  the 
  library, 
  about 
  600 
  publications, 
  

   chiefly 
  periodicals, 
  received 
  by 
  gift 
  or 
  through 
  exchange, 
  but 
  

   not 
  pertaining 
  to 
  the 
  work 
  of 
  the 
  Bureau, 
  were 
  transferred 
  to 
  

   the 
  library 
  of 
  the 
  National 
  Museum. 
  During 
  the 
  year 
  there 
  

   were 
  received 
  and 
  recorded 
  306 
  volumes, 
  900 
  pamphlets, 
  and 
  

   the 
  current 
  issues 
  of 
  upward 
  of 
  500 
  periodicals. 
  One 
  hun- 
  

   dred 
  and 
  fifty 
  volumes 
  were 
  bound 
  at 
  the 
  Government 
  Print- 
  

   ing 
  Office. 
  The 
  library 
  now 
  contains 
  12,858 
  bound 
  volumes, 
  

   9,000 
  pamphlets, 
  and 
  a 
  large 
  number 
  of 
  periodicals 
  which 
  

   relate 
  to 
  anthropology 
  and 
  kindred 
  topics.
