Report of Work in 1913. 



[Presented to the Trustees P'eliruary 17, 1914; returned to the Director April 24. 1914, with 

 orders to omit everything but "work accomplished".] 



The past year has but a commonplace historj- to relate. Not 

 much has been done in publication, not much in accumulation of 

 specimens; but the members of the staff have been far from idle. 



The Museum Press has been largely occupied in printing the 

 Report of the Diredlor's Journey around the World, which for 

 various reasons has taken more time than was spent in the jour- 

 ney. No Memoir has been issued, but of the Occasional Papers, 

 besides the Annual Report for 191 2, Volume \', Part 4, we have 

 published Mr. Forbes' Notes on the Flora of Kahoolawe and Molo- 

 kini, and An Enumeration of Niihau Plants, forming Part 3 of 

 the same volume. Much other material has been colledled for 

 various papers not necessar3' to specify, and it has been no light 

 work but is still far from accomplishment. 



In the Library much work has been done and the list of acces- 

 sions given below will show the value of its increase, while the 

 following brief statistics will mark the form :

This does not show the entire activity of the Library. Many 



translations have been made by the Librarian and by A. DeWitt 



Alexander, the I)ire<5tor's assistant, and the same indefatigable 



laborers have indexed many volumes with reference cards. Visi-
