The special exchange list for the distribution of Smithsonian documents is also in 

 need of revision and correction. It was prepared many years ago, and not a few of 

 the libraries to which it was deemed proper at the time to send these publications 

 have sunk into obscurity, while many new libraries have been established to wbich 

 it seems desirable that Smithsonian documents should be sent. A considerable 

 number of requests are received each year inviting an exchange of publications, or 

 requests for the completion of the Smithsonian series of documents, with which it 

 is rarely practicable to comply. This work has been begun, but had not been com- 

 pleted at the close of the year.

 change of the official publications of the United States Government with other 

 countries has been continued by the Institution, and it now forms a very large 

 proportion of the Bureau's work.
