34 Director's Annual Report 
the returned acknowledgment cards are filed. A set of Concilium 
Bibliographicum cards for zoology occupies two cabinets, additions 
coming in from Zurich at irregular intervals. Much time has 
been given to the Library card catalogue. Although no attempt 
has been made to rewrite the whole, many new cards have been 
inserted to replace those which were torn or illegible; guide cards 
have been prepared, and new accessions as received are furnished 
with author and subject cards, if needed. Much cross-indexing 
of important works relating to the Pacific has been and is being 
done. Some of the subjects chosen for this work are: ‘Worship’, 
‘Petroglyphs’, ‘Volcanoes, Hawaiian Islands’, ‘Birds, Hawaiian 
Islands’, ‘Birds, Australia’, ‘Russians in Hawaii’, ‘Burial Cus- 
toms’, ‘Tatu’. The value of this work has been felt already and 
the continuation of it will be of the greatest advantage. 
‘‘Pamphlets. The classification and care of pamphlets is al- 
ways a source of difficulty to a librarian. In this Library ‘sepa- 
rates’ and other papers are classified and placed in pasteboard 
pamphlet cases labeled with the general subject. A list of con- 
tents is pasted on the outside of all boxes containing papers likely 
to be called for by the members of the staff. By this means a 
pamphlet is found as easily as a book. 
‘Binding. Besides the repairing of torn pages or broken 
backs, there may be included here work on old volumes to make 
the material more available, such as the insertion of a table of 
contents, or pagination of a volume composed of several parts, 
each complete in itself. Our set of Pacific Voyages is being fur- 
nished with a list of the Pacific islands visited, inserted on the 
fly-leaf of the volume, and a list of illustrations is being placed in 
the folios of plates. The set of voyages, arranged in chronological 
order, has been labeled with author or commander’s name, and in 
some cases also the name of the ship. As many of these old vol- 
umes are entitled simply ‘Voyage round the World’, or have no 
binder’s title whatever, it is necessary to have some means of 
identification. Labels have been used very freely in all parts of 
the Library, especially on old books. ‘This work has made the 
Library of much more value for reference purposes, although 
much more of a similar nature remains to be done.
