REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. 
Owing to the continued iilness of your Librarian the duties of 
the office have again been carried on by the Assistant Librarian, 
Mr. William J. Fox, to whom I make acknowledgment for the fol¬ 
lowing report. 
The additions to the library during the past year total 6927, of 
which 6046 are pamphlets and parts of periodicals, 693 volumes, 
and 187 maps. There was also received a framed crayon portrait 
of the late Professor Henry Carvill Lewis, from Mrs. Edward S. 
Sayres. These figures show an increase of 2103 over the preceding 
year, which is mainly due to the receipt of books held back by 
the late war. 
They were received from the following sources: 
Isaiah V. Williamson Fund. 2810 
Exchange. 2761 
United States Department of Agriculture. 542
