The classification system of the library, based on the Concilium Bibliographicum, has been indexed, typed and carded. Four hundred and seventy-nine volumes were catalogued, and 4,677 cards made and filed. This number does not include cards for periodicals, of which there is a separate file. Of periodicals, 362 are currently received and entered. All accessions have been listed, awaiting cataloguing. Cards are now being printed for those books which do not have Library of Congress cards, on the new Elliott machine. Four hundred and eighteen titles have been added to the Library of Congress Depository Catalogue, making a total of 9,052 titles. Most of the added titles were those of codices.
Two book lists have been undertaken this year, one being a beginning toward a bibliography of Indian music, arranged and carded by Miss Del Vigne, the other, entitled Books of Indian Arts North of Mexico, compiled by the librarian and published as part of the Program of the Exposition of Indian Tribal Arts, Incorporated.

I didn't see any instructions on how you would like tables handled. This was my best guess.
