KEPORT OF THE CURATOR OF EXCHANGES FOR THE YEAR ENDING 



JUNE 30, 1895. 



Sir: I have the honor to present the following report upon the operations of the 

 Bureau of International Exchanges for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1895. It is 

 confined almost entirely to the presentation of statistics, compiled upon the plan 

 established in 1888. 



The actual number of packages received during the year was somewhat over 9,000 

 (or 8 per cent) more than during the year preceding, the increase in the weight of 

 packages being nearly 92,000 pounds. This increase was due in part to the trans- 

 mission of a considerable number of packages which, on account of insufficient 

 appropriation, had to be declined during the preceding year, and more especially to 

 the transmission of the Congressional Library exchange, including a large number 

 of packages that had accumulated. Four hundred and fifty-nine more cases were 

 shipped abroad than during any previous year. 



TABULAR STATEMENT OF THE WORK OE THE BUREAU. 



The work of the Bureau is succinctly given in the annexed table, prepared in a 

 form adopted in preceding reports:
