In the case of some other important publications, such as the Annales de 'Institut Pasteur, Paris, the Archiv für Protistenkunde, and the Centralblatt für Bakteriologie 1. Abt. Originale, which would be of great value to the Library, the cost of obtaining the back volumes has so far proved prohibitive.
Catalogue. The catalogue of the Library is kept on the card system. Besides the general catalogue of periodical publications and books, a separate catalogue is being made of individual papers on tropical diseases printed in the various journals. This catalogue is arranged under the names of the diseases, the individual entries within these divisions being filed alphabetically under the authors' names.
Accommodation.-As noted earlier in the report the room in which the Library is now housed has shelving space for between 1,200 and 1,300 books. Already the Library has nearly outgrown this space, and the provision of additional shelving accommodation therefore becomes an urgent necessity.
General. The Library exists primarily as an aid to the preparation of the Bureau publications, and its chief aim therefore has been to keep abreast of the cur- rent literature on tropical diseases. In this the Bureau has been so far successful that over 80 per cent. of the original papers summarized in the Bulletins are to be found in the Library. There are unfortunately some countries (e.g., Russia and Japan, from each of which only one exchange has been obtained) of which the pub- lished work on tropical diseases is still very inadequately represented. On the other hand. several of the exchanges (more especially from Central and South America) are not accessible, so far as is known, in any other of the medical libraries in London. The Library is open to all comers. It is at present mainly used by the Sectional Editors, who freely avail themselves of the facilities for borrowing the journals and books in connexion with their work. Of a necessity, many medical men interested in the study of tropical diseases reside abroad, and the number of potential users of the Library in England is limited. As the Library grows, and its convenience becomes better known, an increasing number of medical officers home on leave from the tropics are likely to make use of it.
