ANXUAL REPOET SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1<J22. 



Valuable material has been donated as in preceding years by 

 friends and members of the staff of the United States National 

 Museum. Among the donors are Messrs. H. S. Barber, August 

 Busck, Austin H. Clark, W. H. Dall, H. G. Dyar, O. P. Hay, Walter 

 Hough, W. R. Maxon, E. G. Mitchell, C. W. Richmond, J. H. Riley, 

 S. A. Rohwer, W. S. Schaus, B. H. Swales, and Dr. and Mrs. Charles 

 D. Walcott. Especially noteworthy are the gifts of Doctor Walcott 

 to the geological and paleontological collections, and the gifts of 

 Dr. William H. Dall to the section of the division of mollusks, num- 

 bering 233 titles. 



Many of these collections have been received and they have an inti- 

 mate relation to the library in that the donors were connected with 

 the Museum and brought the collection together during the progress 

 of their researches. The list of donors in the foregoing paragraph 

 will give some idea of the number of collections of this kind that 

 have been added. Special attention should be called to the Iddings 

 and Walcott collections, given during the previous year. These 

 required assorting, arranging, and checking with other publications 

 of the same kind on the shelves, -in order to prevent duplication, for 

 which there is not enough room at the present time.
