ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT 13 



the year 559 books were accessioned, of which 109 were ac- 

 quired by purchase and 450 by gift and exchange; also 150 

 pamphlets and 4, 106 serials, chiefly the publications of learned 

 societies, were received and recorded, of which 110 were ob- 

 tained by purchase, the remainder being received through 

 exchange. The catalogue was increased by the addition of 

 3,420 cards. Volumes to the the number of 210 were collated 

 and prepared for binding. Numerous loans were made to 

 libraries in Washington, and a considerable amount of ref- 

 erence work was done in the usual course of the library's 

 service to investigators and students, both those in the Smith- 

 sonian Institution and others. The purchase of books and 

 periodicals for the library has been restricted to such as relate 

 to the bureau's researches. 



Many volumes received by the library not pertaining to 

 anthropology^ were transferred to the library of the Smith- 

 sonian Institution. During the year the cataloguing has 

 been carried on as new accessions were acquired and good 

 progress was made in cataloguing ethnologic and related 

 articles in the earlier serials. The number of books borrowed 

 from the Library of Congress for the use of the staff of the 

 bureau in prosecuting their researches was about 150.
