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 margin. 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. Usually the printing promptly follows the ordering, but various causes sometimes make delays. The L. C. card number appended to some of the entries is for those libraries ordering printed cards from the Library of Congress. The number at the ex- treme right of an entry indicates the classification of the publication in the Office of the Superintendent of Documents.

HOW TO ORDER PUBLICATIONS Publications entered in this catalogue that are for sale by the Superintendent of Documents are indicated by a star (*) preceding the price.

In using this number as a classification number in a library, it should be noted that the shilling mark (/) is used to separate what would ordinarily be a superior number or letter (the numbers or letters immediately following the line) from the main classification number, it not being practicable to print these numbers and letters as superiors in the Monthly catalogue, e. g.,^the number A 1.23/a: So96/4 listed in the Monthly catalogue would be A 1.2311: So96 m a Library. li br ary of con gre ss ca rd s Numbers to be used in ordering the printed catalogue cards of the Library of Congress are appended to entries for the more important publications. These are given at the left, with “ L. C. card ” prefixed. Do not confuse with the Documents Office classification number given at the right. Orders for these cards, remittances in payment for them, and requests for information about them should be addressed to the Librarian of Congress, not to the Superin- tendent of Documents. MONTHLY CATALOGUE DISTRIBUTION The Monthly catalogue is sent to each Senator, Representative, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, and officer in Congress; to designated depositories and State and Territorial libraries if it is selected by them; to substantially all Government authors; and to as many school, college, and public libraries as the limited edition will supply. Subscription price to individuals, 50c. a year, including index; foreign sub- scription, 75c. a year. Back numbers can not be supplied. Notify the Super- intendent of Documents of any change of address. INDEX 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.
