There has been no change in the library staff during the fiscal 

 year. Accessions during the fiscal year totaled 364. 



The section of North American periodicals has been reclassified 

 and reshelved and a temporary shelf -list made. Permanent catalog 

 and shelf -list cards have been made for part of this material. 



The library staff has relabeled and reshelved 4,687 books. All these 

 are now in the Library of Congress classification. As of June 30, 

 1940, practically all North American material has been reclassified 

 and reshelved, almost all Central and South American material, and 

 about two-thirds of the sections on ethnology other than American. 

 Library of Congress cards have been ordered when available for all 

 books reclassified which did not already have them. Practically all 

 these cards have been prepared and filed in the catalog. 



The Librarian attended the meetings of the Inter-American Biblio- 

 graphical and Library Association at Washington, D. C, in February 

 and the meetings of the Eighth American Scientific Congress at Wash-
