During the year there were sent abroad 1,963 boxes (an increase over 1908 of 

 54 boxes), of which 236 contained complete sets of United States Government 

 documents for authorized depositories and 1,727 were filled with departmental 

 and other publications for depositories of partial sets and for distribution to 

 miscellaneous correspondents. 



EXCHANGE OF GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS. 



The number of packages sent abroad through the International Exchange 

 Service by United States Government establishments during the year was 

 122,340, an increase over the number forwarded during the preceding twelve 

 months of 19,646 ; while 20,216 packages were received in exchange, an increase 

 of 3,363. This disparity between the number of packages received and those 

 sent may be accounted for largely by the fact that many returns for the publi- 

 cations forwarded abroad are not made through the exchange service, but are 

 sent to their destinations direct by mail. This difference is further due to the
