Note .—Nearly all of the Departments of the Government make a limited free distribution of their publications. When an entry shows a * price, it is possible that upon application to the issuing office a copy may be obtained without charge. Explanation Words and figures inclosed in brackets [ ] are given for information, but do not appear on the title-pages of the publications catalogued. When place and printer are not given, it is to be understood that the publication is printed at the United States Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. When size is not given octavo is to be understood. Size of maps is measured from outer edge of border, excluding margin. The date, 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—FOLLOWS CONTENTS n Genera l Infor mation The Superintendent of Documents, Washington. D. C., is authorized to sell at cost, plus 10 per cent, without limit as to the number of copies to any one applicant who agrees not to resell or distribute the same for profit, any United States Government publication not confidential in character. Publications can not be supplied free to individuals nor forwarded in ad- vance of payment. The accumulation of publications in this Office amounts to several millions, of which over two million are assorted, forming the sales stock. Many rare books are included, but under the law all must be sold 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. PRICE LISTS A general price list of public documents is not available, but numerous lists have been prepared on special subjects and any of these will be furnished free, on application, if the person interested will state the subject or subjects concerning which information is desired. It will also be noted that current publications which are for sale are listed in this catalogue. WEEKLY LIST In addition to the Price lists, the Documents Office issues a Weekly list of selected United States Government publications for sale by the Superintendent of Documents. Each list is arranged alphabetically by subjects, with annota- tions and prices, and may be obtained free upon application to the Superin- tendent of Documents. HOW TO ORDER PUBLICATIONS Publications entered in this catalogue that are for sale by the Superin- tendent of Documents are indicated by a star (*) preceding the price. A dag- ger (f) indicates that application should be made to the Department, Bureau, or Division issuing the document. A double dagger (t) indicates that the document is printed for official use. Whenever additional information con- cerning the method of procuring a document seems necessary, it will be found under the name of the Bureau by which it was published. In ordering a publication from the Superintendent of Documents, give (if known) the name of the publishing Department, Bureau, or Division, and the title, together with the classification number which is added to the entry at the extreme right; order the Congressional documents and reports by the title, together with the document or report number and the Congress and session, e. g., H. doc. 56, 70-1. Do not use the L. C. card number in ordering a publication. HOW TO REMIT 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 check. Currency may be sent at sender’s risk. For- eign remittances should be made either by international money order or draft on an American bank. Postage stamps, foreign money, defaced or smooth coins, will not be accepted. For the convenience of the general public, coupons that are good until used in exchange for Government publications sold by the Superintendent of Documents may be purchased from his Office in sets of 20 for $1.00. Ad- dress order to Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. 63 64 Augu st . 1928 No charge is made for postage on documents forwarded to points in United States, Alaska, Guam, Hawaii, Philippine Islands, Porto Rico, Samoa, or to Canada, Cuba, or Mexico. To other countries the regular rate of postage is charged, and remittances must cover such postage. In computing foreign post- age, add one-third of the price of the publication. TO LIBRARIANS The number given at the extreme right of each entry (except for Con- gressional documents and reports) is the classification number by which the publication is arranged in the Library and in the Sales Stock of the Office of the Superintendent of Documents. It can be used as a classification number by such libraries as are using, for the Departmental publications, the arrange- ment of public documents advocated in the Checklist of United States public documents, 1789-1909. 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: So 96/4 listed in the Monthly catalogue would be A 1.23": So 964 in a library. LIBRARY 01’ CONGRESS CARDS 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 public libraries free on application. Sub- scription price to individuals, 50c. a year, including index; foreign subscrip- tion, 75c. a year. Back numbers can not be supplied. Notify the Superintendent 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.
