 separates and bound volumes, mostly on anthropological subjects, for 

 which a special bookplate has been provided. This is the second gen- 

 erous contribution of the same character from Professor Mason. Dr. 

 Edward L. Greene, recently appointed associate in botany, has depos-

 that while the books shall be accessible on the same terms as other 

 books in the Museum library they are not to be lent outside the Dis- 

 trict of Columbia without the consent of Doctor Greene.
