Books returned, as shown by counting the white slips for each month. MONTHS. APPENDIX XI. NOTE. — White slips are used for drawing books for home use, or hall use, one at a time. When books are drawn for reference, buff slips are used, and several volumes may be in use in the hall by one person at the same time by means of these slips. No account of the number of volumes used in this last way was made during 1868-9; but it is estimated to have been about 4,000 volumes. The difference in the total of 1868-9 compared with the total of Lower Hall issues in table (Appendix X.) shows the number of volumes in circulation July 31, 1869, namely, 2,341. NOTE.-New registrations were begun in 1854, 1859, and 1868. In the column of "Cards not called for," the total may not be correct, inasmuch as some of the number given for 1868 may have since been called for. This also affects the total in the last column, which is got by taking the figures of the previous column from the column of "Applicants." 1854. 1855. 1856 1857. 1858 1859. 1860. 1861 1862. 1863. 1864 1865 1866. 1867. 1868 1869.
