DISTRIBUTION OF PUBLICATIONS

The distribution of the publications of the bureau has been continued under the charge of Miss Helen Munroe, assisted by Miss Emma B. Powers. Publications distributed were as follows:

Annual Report volumes and separates	6,003
Bulletins and separates	13,924
Contributions to North American Ethnology	33
Miscellaneous publications	515
	20,475

As compared with the fiscal year ended June 30, 1930, there was a decrease of 4,393. This decrease is mainly in the distribution of bulletins and separates, and possibly is largely explained by the very large number of separates from the Handbook which were sent in the previous year to the many groups of Camp Fire Girls. No great demand from any one group was received during the past fiscal year.

Twenty-eight addresses were added to the mailing list during the year and 20 were taken off. The mailing list now stands at 1,635 in addition to the members of the staff of the bureau and other branches of the Institution who receive the publications regularly as issued.
