With the publications actually issued and those in press and soon to be delivered, the Museum has a record of thirty-seven books and pamphlets since the last report, and others are in preparation for publication in the fall. This activity in the way of disseminating knowledge respecting the researches and collections of the Museum has been due to the generosity of Messrs. Huntington, Hendrichs and Riker. Indeed, the entire series of Indian Notes and Monographs is due to Mr. Huntington's inspiration and liberality, and the innovation as regards the small form and make-up has occasioned many favorable letters and comments.

EXCHANGES

There have been several exchanges consummated with different institutions and individuals during the year, as follows: an exchange with the American Museum of Natural History, New York City, consisted of 28 specimens received from them, our Museum giving them 46 specimens in return therefor. The Roger Williams Park Museum of Providence, Rhode Island, gave us an old Penobscot canoe, in exchange for which we sent that institution an Eskimo kayak and outfit. There were also exchanges made with Mr. Arthur C. Parker of the State Museum at Albany, New York; Frank Wood, Dartmouth Historical Society, New Bedford, Mass.; James Clark, New York City; Sidney R. Turner, Riverside, Rhode Island; Theodore Pitman, Boston, Mass.; Rhode Island Historical Society, Providence, Rhode Island; and James R. Northrup of Peace Dale, Rhode Island. The exchange with the University Museum of Philadelphia is still pending.
