Four of these reports have now appeared. Part 5, Agriculture Department Report 113, describing the methods and cost of marlieting live stock and meats, is now in the hands of the printer and will be issued in the near future.

Besides a table of cases in American, English, and colonial courts, it contains an historical account of antitrust laws, dealing principally with the legislation and judicial decisions of the United States and foreign countries with respect to industrial combinations and unfair competition.

Professional papers, and Water-supply papers ; and maps. Monographs, and folios of the Geologic atlas (issued in Library and Field editions) and the Topographic atlas of the United States, which are sold at prices ranging from 5c. to $11.00 each. A wholesale rate has been established for topographic and geologic folios (either Library or Field editions), so that a discount of 40 per cent, from the retail price is now allowed on all orders the net cost of which amounts to $3.00 or more. This rate applies on an order of either maps or folios alone or for maps and folios together, but does not apply to the folios sold at 5c. each on account of damage by fire.

GS 15—802/3 Topographic sheets Note. — The Geological Survey is maMng a toposraphic map of the United States. The sheets of which it is composed are projected without reference to political divisions, and are designated by some prominent town or natural feature found on them. Three- scales are ordinarily used, 1 : 62,500, 1 : 125.000, and 1 : 250,000. These correspond, ap- proximately, to 1 mile, 2 miles, and 4 miles to 1 linear inch, covering, respectively, average areas of 230, 920, and .S.700 square miles. For some areas of particular im- portance special large-scale maps are published. The usual size, exclusive of the margin, is about 17.5 inches in height by 11.5 to 16 inches in width, the latter varying with the latitude. A description of the topographic map is printed on the reverse of each sheet. Nearly two-fifths of the area of the country, excluding outlying possessions, has been mapped, every State being represented. Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia are completely mapped. Sheets of the regular size are sold by the Survey at 10c. each ; but in lots of 50 or more copies, whether of the same sheet or of different sheets, the price is 6c. each. The discount is allowed on all orders the net cost of which amounts to .$3.00 or more and applies on an order for either maps or folios alone or for maps and folios together, but does not apply to the folios sold at 5c. each on account of damage by fire.

C, is authorized to sell at cost of paper and printing any United States public document in his charge the distribution of which is not otherwise provided for. Publications can not be supplied free to individuals nor forwarded in advance of payment.

If the publication is numbered, give the number also. Every such particular assists in quick identification. Do not order by the Library of Congress card number. The accumulation of publications in this Office amounts to several millions, of which over a million are assorted, forming the sales stock. Many rare books are included, but under the law all must be sold " at cost," regardless of their age or scarcity. Many of the books have been in stock some time and are apt to be shop-worn. In filling orders the best copy available is sent. A general price-list of public documents is not available, but lists on special subjects will be furnished on application.

The catalogue of the public documents of the Sixty-second Congress and of other departments of the Government of the United States for the period from July 1, 1911, to June 80, 1913, issued biennially and prepared under the super- vision of the Superintendent of Documents, is now ready for distribution and will be forwarded to the depository libraries in the September invoice.

A wholesale rate has been established for topographic and geologic folios (either Library or Field editions), so that a discount of 40 per cent, from the retail price is now allowed on all orders the net cost of which amounts to $3.00 or more. This rate applies on an order of either maps or folios alone or for maps and folios together, but does not apply to the folios sold at 5c. each on account of damage by fire.

C, is authorized to sell at cost of paper and printing any United States public document in his charge the distribution of which is not otherwise provided for. Publications can not be supplied free to individuals nor forwarded in advance of payment. Publications entered in this catalogue that are for sale by the Superintendent of Documents are indicated by a star (*) preceding the price. A dagger (t) indicates that application should be made to the Department, Bureau, or Division issuing the document. A double dagger (I) indicates that the docu- ment is not obtainable.

If the publication is numbered, give the number also. Every such particular assists in quick identification. Do not order by the Library of Congress card number.

Many rare books are included, but under the law all must be sold " at cost," regardless of their age or scarcity. Many of the books have been in stock some time and are apt to be shop-worn. In filling orders the best copy available is sent. A general price-list of public documents is not available, but lists on special subjects will be furnished on application.

(Bulletin 606.) * Paper, 25c. GS 16—3/3 ^ Topographic sheets Note. — The Geological Survey is making a topographic map of the United States. The slieets of which it is composed are projected •without reference to political divisions, and are designated by some prominent town or natural feature found on them. Three scales are ordinarily used. 1 : 62,500, 1 : 125,000, and 1 : 250,000. These correspond, ap- proximately, to 1 mile. 2 miles, and 4 miles to 1 linear inch, covering, respectively, average areas of 230, 920, and 3.700 square miles. For some are.is of particular im- portance special large-scale maps are published. The usual size, exclusive of the margin, is about 17.5 inches in height by 11.5 to 16 inches in width, the latter varying with the latitude. A description of the topographic map is printed on the reverse of each sheet. Nearly two-fifths of the area of the country, excluding outlying possessions;, has been mapped, every State being represented. Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia are completely mapped. Sheets of the regular size are sold by the Survey at 10c. each : but In lots of 50 or more copies, whether of the same sheet or of different sheets, the price is 6c. each. The discount is allowed on all orders, the net cost of which amounts to $3.00 Or more and applies on an order for either maps or folios alone or for maps and folios together, but does not apply to the folios sold at 5c. each on account of damage by fire.

The sheets of which it is composed are projected without reference to political divisions, and are designated by some prominent town or natural feature found on them. Three scales are 'ordinarily used, 1:62,500, 1:125,000, and 1:250,000. These correspond, ap- proximately, to 1 mile, 2 miles, and 4 miles to 1 linear inch, covering, respectively, average areas of 230, 920, and 3,700 square miles. For some areas of particular im- portance special large-scale maps are published. The usual size, exclusive of the margin, is about 17.5 inches in height by 11.5 to 16 inches in width, the latter varying with the latitude. A description of the topographic map is printed on the reverse of each sheet. Nearly two-flfths of the area of the country, excluding outlying possessions, has been mapped, every State being represented. Massachusetts. Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia are completely mapped. Sheets of the regular size are sold by the Survey at 10c. each ; but in lots of .^)0 or more copies, whether of the same sheet or of different sheets, the price is 6c. each. The discount is allowed on all orders, the net cost of which amounts to .$3.00 or more and applies on an order for either maps or folios alone or for maps and folios together, but does not apply to the folios sold at 5c. each on account of damage by fire.

A description of the topographic map is printed on the reverse of each sheet. Nearly two-flfths of the area of the country, excluding outlying possessions, has l)een mapped, every State being represented. Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, ^ew Jersey, and the District of Columbia are completely mapped. Sheets of the regular size are sold by the Survey at 10c. each ; but in lots of 50 or more copies, whether of the same sheet or of different sheets, the price is 6c. each.

Professional papers, and Water-supply papers ; and maps, Monographs, and folios of the Geologic atlas (issued in Library and Field editions) and the Topographic atlas of the United States, which are sold at prices ranging from 5c. to $11.00 each. A wholesale rate has been established for topographic and geologic folios (either Library or Field editions), so that a discount of 40 per cent, from the retail price is now allowed on all orders the net cost of which amounts to $3.00 or more. This rate applies on an order of either maps or folios alone or for maps and folios together, but does not apply to the folios sold at 5c. each on account of damage by fire.

Scale 1 : 1,000,000. [Washington, Geological Survey] 1916. 22.5X13.8 in. t 5c. Topographic sheets Note.— The Geological Survey is making a topographic map of the United States. The sheets of which it is composed are projected without reference to political divisions, and are designated bv some prominent town or natural feature found on them. Three scales are ordinarily used, 1 : 62,500, 1 : 125,000, and 1 : 250,000. These correspond, ap- proximately, to 1 mile, 2 miles, and 4 miles to 1 linear inch, covering, respectively, average areas of 230, 920, and 3,700 square miles. For some areas of particular im- portance special large-scale maps are published. The usual size, exclusive of the margin, is about 17.5 inches in height by 11.5 to 16 inches in width, the latter varying with the latitude. A description of the topographic map is printed on the reverse of each sheet. Nearly two-fifths of the area of the country, excluding outlying possessions, has been mapped, every State being represented. Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia are completely mapped. Sheets of the regular size are sold by the Survey at 10c. each ; but in lots of 50 or more copies, whether of the same sheet or of different sheets, the price is 6c. each. The discount is allowed on all orders, the net cost of which amounts to $3.00 or more and applies on an order for either maps or folios alone or for maps and folios together, but does not apply to the folios sold at 5c. each on account of damage by fire.
