the circulation for the two previous years. The total has been exceeded
in only one previous year, 19374938. However, the comparison is not
valid because in the earlier years the lack of indexes required the handling
of many more records than is the case today.
Documents Circulated Fiscal Year 1947.......... 5,594
Documents Circulated Fiscal Year 1948.......... 5,472
Documents Circulated Fiscal Year 1949.......... 6,733
A breakdown of circulation by series follows. A series which has a
