Although the 3,227 letters received in the director's office during 

 the year indicate a decrease from the previous year, the total is well 

 above the average for the past several years. This number, of course, 

 does not include semiofficial letters received by staff members from 

 colleagues and interested individuals. Because the Bureau does not 

 maintain a mailing list for its bibliography series, many college and 

 university librarians write in for complete sets and for information 

 leaflets. About 8,000 informational items were mailed from the main 

 Bureau office in response to requests for such material. The above 

 totals do not include Bureau material and publications sent out by 

 the Editorial and Publications Division. Many lots of specimens 

 were received by mail or brought to the office for identification and for 

 such information as could be provided by Bureau specialists.
