LIBRARY. 



The reference library of the bureau continued in the immediate 

 care of Miss Ella Leary, librarian, assisted by Mr. Charles B. New- 

 man. During the year 435 books were accessioned, of which 97 were 

 purchased, 286 acquired by gift or exchange, and 52 by the entry of 

 newly bound volumes of periodicals previously received. In addi- 

 tion the bureau acquired 388 pamphlets. The aggregate number of 

 books in the library at the close of the year was 21,750; of pam- 

 phlets, about 13,848. In addition there are many volumes of unbound 

 periodicals. Several new periodicals were added to the exchange 

 list and about 50 defective series were either wholly or partly com- 

 pleted. As might be expected, the publication of various European 

 periodicals devoted to anthropology has either been suspended or 

 has ceased entirely. Largely with the assistance of Mrs. Frances S. 

 Nichols many of the older books and pamphlets were newly cata- 

 logued by both subject and author, and thus made more readily 

 available. Of 133 volumes sent to the bindery about half were re- 

 turned before the close of the year. Books borrowed from the 

 Library of Congress numbered about 400.
