10 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 



Library has received many additions of recent books and author's 

 separates, and Prof. W. M. Davis, Sturgis Hooper Professor of 

 Geology, emeritus, following the policy of his distinguished pre- 

 decessor, adds each year many volumes and pamphlets to the 

 Whitney Library. 



A profile plaque of Prof. Jules Marcou by Max Daudet is the 

 kind gift of Mrs. Powell. A volume of the records of the Harvard 

 Natural History Society, with much contemporaneous corre- 

 spondence, has been received from Dr. R. M. Field. 



Miss E. L. Anthony resigned her position in the Library in 

 September, 1919. Her term of employment began in 1869; for 

 some years she assisted in the conchological department but 

 most of the time she served faithfully in the Library. Her Mu- 

 seum associates were glad to join in testifying their regard and to 

 wish her many years of contentment. 



The publications of the year include one number of the Memoirs, 

 eight numbers of the Bulletin, and the Annual Report, a total of 

 749 (46 quarto and 703 octavo) pages, illustrated by 25 (6 quarto 

 and 19 octavo) plates. The number of the Memoirs contains a 

 report on the collection of Asteroidea (Star-fishes) obtained during 

 the expedition to the Eastern Tropical Pacific, in charge of Mr. 

 Agassiz, by the U. S. Fish Commission Steamer Albatross, in 

 1904-1905. One of the Bulletins contains a report on the birds 

 collected during the expedition of the Albatross in the Tropical 

 Pacific in 1899-1900; the other Bulletins, seven in number, are 

 reports based on Museum collections.
