Explanation Words and figures inclosed in brackets [ ] are given for information, but do not appear on the title-pages of the publications catalogued. When size is not given octavo is to be understood. Size of maps is measured from outer edge of border, excluding marg^in. The dates, including day, month, and year, given with Senate and House documents and reports are the dates on which they were ordered to be printed.

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 Divi- sion issuing the document. A double dagger ($) indicates that the document is not obtainable. Whenever additional information concerning the method of procuring a document seems necessary it will be found under the name of the Bureau by which it was published. The Senate and House documents and reports are issued in limited editions, and, unless otherwise indicated, may be obtained only through Members of Congress. In ordering a publication from the Superintendent of Documents, give (if knowTi) the name of the publishing Department, Bureau, or Division, and the title of the publication. 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 Oflfice 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. MONTHLY CATALOGUE DISTEIBUTION The Monthly catalogue is sent to each Senator, Representative, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, and officer in Cougi-ess, to designated depositories and State and Territorial libraries, to substantially all Government authors, and to as many school, college, and public libraries as the limited edition will supply. Subscription price to individuals, $1.10 a year, including index. Back num- bers can not be supplied. Notify the Superintendent of Documents of any change of address. LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CARDS Numbers to be used in ordering the L. C. catalogue cards will be found at the end of the titles of the more important monographic documents. The figure following the card number (separated from it by a slanting line) indi- cates the number of cards required for entries suggested (title entry not in- cluded) on the cards. The price of the cards is 2c. for the first card and Ac. for each additional card for the same title ordered at the same time. Remittances for the L. C. catalogue cards should be made to the Librarian of Congress. They can not be furnished by the Superintendent of Documents. 121 122 September, 1917 An Index to the Monthly catalogue is issued at the end of the fiscal year. This contains index entries for all the numbers issued from July to June, and can be bound with the numbers as an index to the volume. Persons desiring to bind the catalogue at the end of the year should be careful to retain the numbers received monthly, as duplicate copies can not be supplied. HOW TO BEMIT Remittances for the documents marked with a star ( * ) should be made to the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C, by coupons, postal money order, express order, or New York draft. Currency may be sent at sender's risk. Postage stamps, foreign money, defaced or smooth coins, positively vnll not be accepted.

T(>poiirai)hiv 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 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, approxi- mately, 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 importance spe- cial large-scale maps are published. The usual size, exclusive of the margin, is about 17.5 inches in height by 11.5 to It; 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 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 tire. ^r('«onr/-New Mexico.

Publications can not be supplied free to individuals nor forwarded in advance of payment.

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.

Topographic sheets Note. — The Geological Survey is makinc: a topographic map of the T'nited States. Tlio sheets of which it is composed are projected without reference to political divisions, and are desifrnatod 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- liroxiinately. to 1 mile. 2 miles, and 4 miles to 1 linear inch, covering, respectively, average areas of 2:^0, 920, and 3,700 square miles. For some areas of particular im- portance special larpe-scale maps are published. The usual size, exclusive of the margin, is about 17.5 inches in height by 11.5 to IG inches in width, the latter varying with the lafltiide. .\ description of the topographic map is printed on the reverse of each sheet. More than two-fifths of the area of the country, excluding outlying possessions, has been mapped, every State l)eing represented. Massachusetts. Connecticut, Rhode Island, Ni'w .Tersey, 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 difTerent sheets, the price is Gc. each. The discount is allowed on all orflers the net cost of which amounts to $3.00 or more and applies on an order for either nuiiis 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 flre.
