MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. 31 



REPORT ON THE LIBRARY. 



By Samuel Henshaw. 



From July 1, 1900, to July 31, 1901, 862 volumes, 3,570 parts 

 of volumes, 1,473 pamphlets, and 57 maps have been added to the 

 library. 



On the basis of past data, the library contains 33,329 volumes 

 and 25,819 pamphlets. 



These figures, owing to the exclusion of duplicates, the transfers 

 to other libraries of the University, and the complete enumeration 

 of the Whitney books, will be somewhat modified in the next 

 report. 



693 volumes have been bound ; 500 pamphlets have been sepa- 

 rately bound. 



The rearrangement of the library completed during the year 

 includes : — 1st, the geological books, with the exception of a 

 part of the Whitney Library ; 2d, the zoological and palaeozoologi- 

 cal books and serials; 3d, the general serials; and 4th, the serial 

 publications of institutions. 



The shelf catalogue of the library as rearranged is well advanced. 



By a vote of the Library Council of the University somewhat 

 more than 500 books and pamphlets have been transferred from 

 Gore Hall to the library of the Museum.
