Documents, meeting records and intro­ ductory notes are referred to by entry numbers in the subject­ index to this Check List. The entry numbers do not appear on the documents and should not be used in citation. LANGUAGE OF ISSUE. The language editions in which a document is issued are indicated as English (E), French (F), Spanish (8), Russian (R), Chinese (C), or bilingual English-French (E&F) texts. DOCUMENT SYMBOL AND SHORT TITLE. The official document symbol number should be used in citing documents. In case of publications without document symbol numbers, titles should be cited together with the session number, issue number, supple­ ment number, and VOlume number, whichever is included in the entry. Title entries have been standardized and shortened or ex­ panded in order to clarify the meaning of the titles and the author­ ship of the document, as the entries do not always literally con­ form to the actual document titles. The collation shows the pagi­ nation of the English or bilingual English-French text only. The date appearing on each document below the document symbol number is usually the date of registration of the documentary text with the Bureau of Documents for publication and translation and should be the same in all language texts. The date of registration closes each entry. Corrigenda, addenda and revisions are usually grouped with the parent document in the same entry unless a separate reference from the subject-index is called for. Corrigenda are corrections of errors in the texts, tables, dates or classifications of documents, emendations of translations, and additions of omitted text. Addenda include supplementary material, such as annexes, appendices, tables, charts and additional communications, clauses and paragraphs. Re­ visions are texts revised through formal amendments or new edi­ tions of a document prepared by the submitting delegation or body or by the Secretariat. REPUBLICATION NOTES indicate the republication of whole documents in other documents or in the Official Records. In the case of resolutions, only their republication in collected sets is indicated. 4: TRUSTEESHIP COUNCIL RESTRICTED AND LIMITED SERIES. Documents of "re­ stricted distribution" are indicated in this Check List by a black dot (e) before the symbol. Prior to the 15th of September 1949, this category included both documents of a confidential nature and documents the circulation of which was limited for other reasons. Since 15 September 1949* the term "restricted series" is to be used exclusively for confidential documents. The term "limited series" is to be used for documents the wide circulation of which is unnecessary for any other reason, such as their provisional or ephemeral character. The "limited series" is not withheld from the press. In this Check List documents of "limited" distribution are indicated by a plus sign (+) before the symbol. INTRODUCTORY NOTES give a short parliamentary history of the Council and describe briefly each Ad hoc Committee and Visiting Mission, session by session, including the date of its appointment, citing its terms of reference, naming its members and officers, listing its reports and document series symbol (if any), and tabulating its meeting records. The plenary meetings of the Council itself are shown in tables for each session. The tables indicate both published and unpublished meeting records and related press releases. Since drafts for the published meet­ ing records should be deposited as a matter of course in the Ar­ chives of the United Nations, the tables show under the heading " Archives" only the unpublished manuscript records deposited in the Archives ("TPV"; "TSR") and the sound recordings ("X"). *Administrative Instruction No. 72.
