the Library. — The 



accessions 



of the Library for the 



year are 



fourteen hundred books and pamphlets, bringing the total number in 

 the library to 69,675, distributed as follows: 



General Library . 44,928 



Department of Anthropology 3,436 



Department of Botany 7,072 



Department of Geology 9,868 



Department of Zoology . 4,37 1 



The decrease in the number of accessions is largely due to the exist- 

 ing conditions abroad that continue to affect the receipts from con- 

 temporary institutions and societies. It is surprising that so many 

 continue to send their publications as regtdarly as they have, as will 

 be noted by the list of accessions. A most satisfactory feature of the 

 year's work is the acknowledgment of the gifts from friends of the 

 Museum, which include rare and out of print works of an unusually 

 helpful and valuable nature. This is particularly true of the collection 

 of Japanese works presented by Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus that were 

 indispensable in the installation of the Japanese material given to the 

 Museum by Dr. Gunsaulus, and will be for all time valuable to the 

 students of Japanese art. Among these works are: Audsley's Orna- 

 mental Arts of Japan; Bing's Artistic Japan; Dresser's Japan; Gonse's 

 L'Art Japonais; Joly's Sword Mounts and Joly's Sword Fittings;
