E.— LIBKARY 



The library contains over one hundred volumes, but of necessity (for 

 lack of space) is limited to such works as are of special importance for 

 reference. They relate chiefly to the fisheries, science, and navigation. 

 Among them are twenty-seven volumes published by the U. S. Fish 

 Commission, thirty-eight volumes issued by the Smithsonian Institu- 

 tion and National Museum, and twenty-seven relating to navigation, 

 nautical astronomy, coast lights, etc.
