30 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 



REPORT ON THE LIBRARY 



Br Samuel Hensiiaw. 



During the year, August 1, 1901, to July 31, 1902, 1,129 vol- 

 umes, 2,042 parts of volumes, 2,375 pamphlets, and 37 maps have 

 been added to the library. 



These accessions added to the number of volumes and pam- 

 phlets reported last year give the library a total of 34,458 volumes 

 and 28,194 pamphlets. 



The additions to the library this year, as in recent years, have 

 been derived very largely from two sources ; namely, those received 

 in exchange for the publications of the Museum and others the direct 

 gift of Mr. Agassiz. Two additional sources are to be noted this 

 year : first, a considerable number of books and pamphlets from the 

 library of the late Professor Hyatt ; and, secondly, eighty volumes 

 purchased from the income of the Willard Peele Hunnewell 

 Memorial Fund. 



849 volumes have been bound ; 400 pamphlets have been sep- 

 arately bound. 



Progress in enumerating and cataloguing the Whitney library 

 and in collating the serials may be noted.
