64 REPORT OF THE SECRETARY. 



having solely in view the procurement of such publications in exchange as were 

 especially desired l)y that library. 



On account of lack of space in the Smithsonian building for storing the additional 

 sets provided for by the resolution of 1901, these documents have been delivered 

 from the Government Printing Office to the Library of Congress, and in turn are 

 forwarded to the Smithsonian Institution from time to time for transmission abroad 

 as negotiations are consummated. When depositories for all these additional sets 

 shall have been arranged for, however, it is expected that the documents will be 

 delivered directly from the Government Printing Office to the Smithsonian Institu- 

 tion, and that all uniform sets will then be shipped abroad at the same time and 

 accompanied by duplicate printed lists of the contents of each case, as is now custom- 

 ary when shipments are made to the original 50 depositories. 



The following is a list of the new depositories to which consignments have been 

 made during the year: 



British Columbia: Legislative Assembly, Victoria. 



Cape Colony: Colonial Governor, Cape Town. 



France: Prefecture de la Seine, Paris. 



Germany: Foreign Office, Bremen. 



Guatemala: Secretary of the Government, Guatemala. 



Jamaica: Colonial Secretary, Kingston. 



Manitoba: Provincial Library, Winnipeg. 



Natal: Colonial Secretary's Office, Pietermaritzburg. 



New Brunswick: Legislative Library, Fredericton. 



Northwest Territories: Government Library, Regina. 



Nova Scotia: Legislative Lil)rary, Halifax. 



Prince Edward Island: Legislative Library, (Teorgetown. 



Dr. Felix Fliigel, Messrs. William Wesley & Son, and Dr. Joseph von Korosy con- 

 tinue to act as agents of the Institution in Leipzig, London, and Budapest, respec- 

 tively. In each instance the interests of the Institution generally, and those of the 

 International Exchange Service in particular, are conducted with rare ability. 



To those correspondents abroad who give their personal attention and doubtless 

 often expend private means in furthering the interests of international exchanges at 

 large the grateful acknowledgment of the Institution should be accorded. 



The appreciation of the Smithsonian Institution and its branches is due to Mr. 

 Charles A. King, deputy collector of the port of New York, for his constant assist- 

 ance in clearing assignments froni abroad for the Institution. I desire to commend 

 also the efficiency and faithfulness of the employes of the exchange service through- 

 out the year. 



Respectfully submitted. 



F. W. Hodge, 

 Aciimj Cunilur of Exchanges. 



Mr. S. P. Langley, 



Secretary of the Smilhsonian 1 restitution.
