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 some- times make delays. When Congress and session are not given with the numbers of Senate and House documents and reports, 62d Congress, 1st session, is to be understood. 664 General Informati 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 can they be forwarded in advance of payment. Documents entered in this catalogue that are for sale by the Super- intendent of Documents, Washington, D. C., are indicated by a star (*) preceding the price named. A dagger (f) indicates that appli- cation should be made to the Department, Bureau, or Division issuing the document, a double dagger (|) indicates that the document is not obtainable, and whenever additional information concerning the method of procuring a document seems necessary it will be found under the name of the Bureau. 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 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 over a million, of which several hundred thousand 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 subjects will be furnished on application. MONTHLY CATALOGUE DISTRIBUTION The Monthly catalogue is sent to each Senator, Representative, Dele- gate, 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 indices. Back numbers can not be supplied. Please notify the Superintendent of Documents of any change in address. 665 666 Jun e , 1911 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 docu- ments. The figure following the card number (separated from it by a slanting line) indicates the number of cards required for entries sug- gested (title entry not included) on the cards. The price of the cards is 2c. for the first card and for each additional 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 Superin- tendent of Documents. CUMULATIVE INDEX Beginning with July, 1910, the Index to the Monthly catalogue will be issued separately each quarter and will cumulate for the twelve months ending June, 1911. That is, the September number of the Index is an index to the Monthly catalogue for July, August, and September, the December number is an index to the Monthly catalogue for October to December, the March number is an index to the Monthly catalogue for January to March, and the June number will be the Index for the fiscal year 1911. Persons desiring to bind the catalogue 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 Super- intendent 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 remittances must cover such postage. Notes of Genera l Interest The Labor Bureau’s 19-volume series on conditions of woman and child wage-earners in the United States is still in course of publication as Senate document 645, 61st Congress, 2d session. Vol. 8 of the series, which is also part 8 of the document, is the latest issue. The volume title is Juvenile delinquency and its relation to employment. All of the irrigation laws have been collected in a pamphlet sold by the Superintendent of Documents at 5 cents. Forest Service Bulletin 84, Preservative treatment of poles, is a pub- lication of importance especially to telegraph, telephone, and trolley road companies. These corporations use whole forests of poles, and as they are not very lasting the constant renewals required are a big item in the maintenance accounts.
