The work of reclassification of negatives has progressed 
satisfactorily. As a prelude to a new catalogue of the large 
collection of negatives, this work will be of lasting value. 
About 4,000 negatives were identified and rejacketed, but 
much yet remains to be done. 
LIBRARY 
The reference library continued under the immediate care 
of Miss Ella Leary, librarian, assisted by Mr. Thomas 
Blackwell. 
During the year 560 books were accessioned. Of these 
82 were acquired by purchase, 253 by gift and exchange, 
and 225 by binding of periodicals. The current periodicals 
annually received number about 975, of which 37 are by 
subscription, the remainder being received through exchange. 
The library has also received 225 pamphlets. The aggregate 
number of books in the library at the close of the year was 
25,621; of pamphlets, about 15,325. 
During the year many students not connected with the 
Smithsonian Institution have applied to the library for books. 
The library was used also by the Library of Congress and 
officers of the executive departments, and out-of-town stu- 
dents have made use of the library through frequent loans. 
Conditions of crowding on the bookshelves are now acute 
in many places in the stacks. Many volumes received by 
the library not pertaining to anthropology were transferred 
to the library of the Smithsonian Institution. 
COLLECTIONS 
The following collections, purchased or acquired by mem- 
bers of the bureau or by those detailed in connection with its 
researches, have been transferred to the United States Na- 
tional Museum:
