prints (including 2,946 maps and diagrams, 25,876 photographs for illustrations and records, and 1,066 bromide enlargements), 5,278 zinc plates, 206 intaglio etchings, 13 celluloid prints, and 3,108 prints mounted.

Distribution.-A total of 260 publications, comprising 35 new books and pamphlets, 86 new or revised topographic and other maps, and 139 reprinted topographic and other maps were received during the year. Several special pamphlets and forms for administrative use were also delivered and distributed. The total units of all publications received numbered 70,462 books and pamphlets and 580,089 topographic and other maps, a grand total of 650,051. The division distributed 61,665 books and pamphlets, 2,887 geologic folios, and 693,861 maps, a grand total of 758,413, of which 2,315 folios and 543,877 maps were sold. The net proceeds (gross collections less copying fees and amounts refunded) from the sales of publications were $32,957.12, including $32,318.31 for topographic and geologic maps and $638.81 for geologic folios. In addition $6,940.24 was repaid by other establishments of the Federal Government at whose request maps or folios were furnished. The total receipts, therefore, were $39,897.36.

LIBRARY

The resources of the library have been increasingly utilized by the newer agencies of the Government. The total number of readers using the library during the year was 14,089, of whom 7,822 were not members of the Geological Survey. These figures may be compared with those of 1932, when the total number of readers was 7,614, of whom 2,111 were not members of the Survey. Loans outside of the library for the year were 9,038, an increase over 1932 of 40 percent.

The bibliography of North American geology for 1933-34 was completed. Two cooperating staffs have continued the use of the library facilities in the compilation of the bibliography of foreign geology and the annotated bibliography of economic geology.

The Emergency Relief Administration project was discontinued in September. The personnel employed on the project, numbering over 100, was utilized in mending and labeling books, sorting duplicate material, and classifying and cataloging most of the remainder of books and pamphlets of the Kunz collection.

Several lists of references were prepared by the library staff. The subjects covered were the Geological Survey, the Public Works Administration, Federal regulation of the petroleum industry, and the Soil Erosion Service.

The accessions during the year comprised 15,264 books, pamphlets, periodicals, and serial parts and 1,202 maps.

APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES

The appropriations made directly for the work of the Geological Survey for the fiscal year 1935 included 11 items, amounting to $1,313,500. In addition, $237,602.54 of the balances for 1934 was continued available for use in 1935, and $80,036 was transferred to the Geological Survey from the indefinite appropriations for salary restorations. A total of $1,631,138.54 was thus made directly available to the Geological Survey by Congress, of which $46,780.70 remained unobligated on June 30, 1935. In addition, $5,632 was allotted from appropriations for the Interior Department for miscellaneous supplies.
