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. When Congress and session are not given with the numbers of Senate and House documents and reports, 63d Con- gress, 2d session, is to be understood. 314 General Inform ati on The Superintendent of Documents is authorized to sell at cost any public document in his charge, the distribution of which is not otherwise provided for. Documents can not be supplied by this Office free to individuals nor for- warded in advance of payment. Documents entered in this catalogue that are for sale by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C., are indicated by a star (*) preceding the price named. A dagger (t) indicates that application should be made to the Department, Bureau, or Division issuing the document, a double dagger (t) indicates that the document is not obtainable, and whenever additional in- formation concerning the method of procuring a document seems necessary it will be found under the name of the Bureau. The Senate and House docu- ments 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 the name of the issuing Department, Bureau, or Division, and title. If publication is numbered give number also. Do not order by Library of Congress card number. Read carefully the instructions “ How to remit,” found at the bottom of the next page. 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. In ordering, it should be borne in mind that many of the books have been in stock some time and are apt to be shop-worn. In filling orders, however, the best copy available is sent. No general price-list of public documents is available, but lists on special sub- jects will be furnished on application. 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, 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. Please notify the Superintendent of Documents of any change in 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) indicates the number of cards required for entries suggested (title entry not included) on the 315 316 Jan ua ry , 1914 cards. The price of the cards is 2c. for the first card and Ac. for each addi- tional card for the same title ordered at the same time. Remittances should be made to the Librarian of Congress. Cards can not be furnished by the Superintendent of Documents. INDEX Beginning with July, 1913, an Index to the Monthly catalogue will be issued at the end of the fiscal year, June, 1914. This will contain index entries for all the numbers issued from July, 1913, to June, 1914, and can be bound with those numbers as an index for the volume. Persons desiring to bind the cata- logue at the end of the year should be careful to retain the numbers received monthly, as duplicate numbers can not be supplied. HOW TO REMIT Remittances for the documents marked with a star (*) should be made to the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C., by 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 will positively not be accepted. To facilitate the payment of the cost of documents, the Superintendent of Documents will hereafter accept coupons issued by him instead of cash. Coupons of the value of 5 cents each are sold in sets of 20 for $1.00. Address order to Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office. No charge is made for postage on documents forwarded to points in United States, Guam, Hawaii, Philippine Islands, Porto Rico, or to Canada, Cuba, or Mexico. To other countries the regular rate of postage is charged, and remit- tances must cover such postage. Notes of Genera l Intere st Education Bureau has issued a new list of its bulletins, 1906-14, indicating by an asterisk (*) those which are no longer available for free distribution but may be bought from the Superintendent of Documents at the prices given in the list and indicating by an obelisk (t) those which are “out of print.” The educational bulletin record for the eight years is a record of growth—not so much, perhaps, in quality, for the standard of the Education Bureau has always been high, but in number. In 1906 but 3 bulletins were published; in 1907, 4; in 1908, 8; in 1909, 11; in 1910, 6; in 1911, 19; in 1912, 33; in 1913, 60. This last figure is a record for the Bureau. For 1914, up to the time of the com- pilation of the list,
