Explanation Words and figures enclosed in brackets [ ] are given for information, but do not appear on the title pages of the publications cataloged. 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.; if processed, publisher is issuing office. When size is not given, octavo is to be understood. Size of maps is approximate, measurement being made 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 word “processed” as used in this catalog indicates publications which are reproduced by duplicating processes other than ordinary printing, e. g., mimeo- graph, multigraph, pianograph, rotaprint, multilith. Processed publications are not obtainable from the Superintendent of Documents and requests for them, if they are available, should be addressed to the issuing office. Under provisions of the Printing Act of January 12, 1895, all Government publi- cations are entered in the Monthly Catalog. However, press releases and admin- istrative, regional, and confidential publications are omitted. The X. 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.
