port. This circular has been sent out somewhat widely as re¬ 
gards territory, out it has been confined pretty largely to 
geologists, mineralogists and botanists. Circulars were sent, 
first to these workers because the necessary lists were ready at 
hand, and perhaps also because the papers of the first two 
classes of workers have the greatest interest to the librarian 
personally. The circulars would have found wider distribution 
but for the fact that the time that the librarian could devote to 
his duties was soon absorbed by the work of cataloging and 
binding the books of the Library. Yet as a result of the 
limited distribution of the circulars and within something more 
than a year, the papers of the following long list have been re¬ 
ceived at the library. They have been duly acknowledged by 
mail and cataloged. It will be noted that geological brochures, 
largely predominate.
