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.

The number at the extreme right of an entry indicates the classification of the publication in the Office of the Superintendent of Documents.

Note .—The Geological Survey is making a series of topographic maps that will eventu- ally cover the whole United States, also Alaska and Hawaii. The individual maps are projected to represent quadrangle areas rather than political divisions, and each map is designated by the name of some prominent town or natural feature in the area mapped. The scales most commonly used are 1 : 31,680, 1 : 62,500, and 1 : 125,000, corresponding, approximately, to mile, 1 mile, and 2 miles to 1 inch. The area covered differs with the latitude, but the average area is 58, 230, or 920 square miles, respectively, for these three scales. Topographic maps are printed on uniform-sized paper, about 20 by 16(4 inches, and the maps of the quadrangle areas represented thereon are about 17(4 inches long and 12 to 15 inches wide, according to latitude. For some areas of particular importance special large-scale maps are published. A general description of topographic maps and a list of the symbols used are printed on the reverse of each sheet. More than two-flfths of the area of the country, excluding Alaska, has been mapped, every State being represented. Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Mary-

SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION

Note .—In a recent price-list the Smithsonian Institution publishes this notice: “Appli- cants for the publications in this list are requested to state the grounds for their requests, as the Institution is able to supply papers only as an aid to the researches or studies in which they are especially interested. These papers are distributed gratis, except where price is given, and should be ordered by the publication numbers arranged in sequence. The serial publications of the Smithsonian Institution are as follows: 1, Smithsonian contributions to knowledge; 2, Smithsonian miscellaneous collections; 3, Smithsonian annual reports. No sets of these are for sale or distribution, as most of the volumes are out of print. The papers issued in the series of Contributions to knowledge and Mis- cellaneous collections are distributed without charge to public libraries, educational establishments, learned societies, and specialists in this country and abroad; and are supplied to other institutions and individuals at the prices indicated. Remittances should be made payable to the ‘ Smithsonian Institution.’ The Smithsonian report volumes and the papers reprinted in separate form therefrom are distributed gratuitously by the Institution to libraries and individuals throughout the world. Very few of the Report volumes are now available at the Institution, but many of those of which the Smith- sonian edition is exhausted can be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. The Institution maintains mailing-lists of public libraries and other educational establishments, but no general mailing-list of individuals. A library making application to be listed for Smithsonian publications should state the number of volumes which it contains and the date of its establishment, and have the endorsement of a Member of Congress.” The annual reports are the only Smithsonian publications that are regularly issued as public documents. All the others" are paid for from the private funds of the Institution, but as they are usually regarded as public documents and have free transmission by mail they are listed in the Monthly catalogue.
