LIBRARY 
The reference library of the bureau continued in the im- 
mediate care of Miss Ella Leary, librarian, assisted by Mr. 
Charles B. Newman. During the year 435 books were acces- 
sioned, of which 97 were purchased, 286 acquired by gift or 
exchange, and 52 by the entry of newly bound volumes of 
periodicals previously received. In addition the bureau ac- 
quired 388 pamphlets. The aggregate number of books in 
the library at the close of the year was 21,750; of pamphlets, 
about 13,848. In addition there are many volumes of un- 
bound periodicals. Several new periodicals were added to 
the exchange list and about 50 defective series were either 
wholly or partly completed. As might be expected, the 
publication of various European periodicals devoted to an- 
thropology has either been suspended or has ceased entirely. 
Largely with the assistance of Mrs. Frances 8. Nichols many 
of the older books and pamphlets were newly catalogued by 
both subject and author, and thus made more readily avail- 
able. Of 133 volumes sent to the bindery about half were 
returned before the close of the year. Books borrowed from 
the Library of Congress numbered about 400.
