and 403 by gift and exchange; also 190 pamphlets and 3,500 

 serials, chiefly the publications of learned societies, were 

 received and recorded, of which 28 were obtained by pur- 

 chase, the remainder being received through exchange, giv- 

 ing us at the close of the year a working library of 26,671 

 volumes, 16,717 pamphlets, and several thousand unbound 

 periodicals. Books loaned during the year numbered 975 

 volumes. During the year 473 volumes were bound. In 

 addition to the use of its own library, which is becoming more 

 valuable through exchange and by limited purchase, it w^as 

 found necessary to draw on the Library of Congress for the 

 loan of about 250 volumes, and in turn the bureau library was 

 frequently consulted by officers of other Government estab- 

 lishments, as well as by students not connected with the 

 Smithsonian Institution. The purchase of books and peri- 

 odicals has been restricted to such as relate to the bureau's 

 researches. 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 catalogue was increased by the addi- 

 tion of 3,500 cards. A considerable amount of reference work 

 was done in the usual course of the library's service to 

 investigators and students, both in the Smithsonian Insti- 

 tution and outside.
