Topographic sheets
Note. — The Geological Survey is making a topographic map of the United
States. The sheets of which it is composed are projected without reference to
political divisions, and are designated by some prominent feature found on them.
Three scales are used, 1 : 62.500, 1 : 125,000. and 1 : 250,000. These correspond, approx-
imately, to 1 mile, 2 miles, and 4 miles to 1 linear inch on the map. The size,
unless otherwise given, is about 17i inches in height by llj to IG inches in width,
exclusive of the margin, the width varying with the latitude. A description of
the topographic map is printed on the reverse of each sheet catalogued below.
About one-fifth ot the area of the country, excluding Alaska, has been mapped,
nearlyevery .State being represented. Massachusetts, Connecticut, lihode Island,
New Jersey, and the District of Columbia are completely mapped. The sheets are
sold by the Survey at 5c. each ; but in lots of 100 or more copies, whether of the
same sheet or of difl'erent sheets, the price is 2c. each.

Topographic sheets
Note. — The Geological Survey is making a topographic map of the United
States. The sheets of which it is composed are projected without reference to
political divisions, and are designated by some prominent feature found on them.
Three scales are used, 1:62,500, 1: 125,000, andl: 250,000. These correspond, approx-
imately, to 1 mile, 2 miles, and 4 miles to 1 linear inch on the map. The size,
unles.s otherwise given, is about 17J inches in height by IH to 16 inches in width,
exclusive of the maigin, the width varying with the latitude. A description of
the topographic map is printed on the reverse of each sheet catalogued below.
About one-fifth of the area of the country, excluding Alaska, has been majiped,
nearly every State beingrepresented. Mass.achusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
New Jersey, and tlie District of Columbia are completely mapped. Sheets of the
regular size are sold by the Survey at 5c. each; but in lots of 100 or more copies,
whether of the same sheet or of different sheets, the ](rice is 2c. each.

General Note
AUTHORITY FOR PUBLISHING THE CATALOGUE
This Monthly Catalogue is issued in accordance with the provisions
of section 69 of the Act providing for the public printing and binding
and the distribution of public documents, approved January 12, 1895,
which is as follows :
"Sec. 69. A catalogue of Government publications shall be prepared
by the Superintendent of Documents on the lirst day of each montb,
which shall show the documents printed during the preceding month,
where obtainable, and the price thereof. Two thousand copies of such
catalogue shall be printed in pamphlet form for distribution."
There is no direction as to who shall make the distribution, nor to
whom it shall be made. Thus far the Superintendent of Documents has
exercised his own discretion in the premises. In pursuance of this dis-
cretion copies of each issue have been sent to Senators, Representatives,
and Delegates in Congress, to the designated depository libraries, to
those Government Departments, bureaus, and offices which issue public
documents, to the officers of the Engineer Corps, U. S. A. (by request of
the Chief of the Corps), and, finally, to those citizens who have asked
for them. No arbitrary list of names of people who have expressed no
interest in public documents has been made up. Only those unofficial
citizens who were known to want the Catalogue have been supplied
with it. By pursuing this course the small edition has thus far been
saved from entire exhaustion, and it is still i)ossible, in special cases, to
supply all the numbers except the first. It will, however, soon be found
necessary to increase the number printed or to adopt some more restrict-
ive rule than that of "first come, fiist served," which has thus far been
followed. Requests for the regular receipt of the Catalogue have been
received from every part of this country and from several foreign coun-
tries, and additional requests are continually received.
SALES BY THE SUPERINTENDENT OF DOCUMENTS
Section 61 of the Act hereinbefore quoted provides as follows:
"The Superintendent of Documents is hereby authorized to sell at cost
any public document in his charge, the distribution of which is not
herein specifically directed, said cost to be estim.nted by tlie Public
Printer and based upon printing from stereotyped plates; but only one
copy of any document shall be sold to the same person, excepting
libraries or schools by which additional copies are desired for separate
departments thereof, and Members of Congress; and whenever any
officer of the Government having in his charge documents published
for sale shall desire to be relieved of the same, he is hereby authorized
to turn them over to the Superintendent of Documents, who shall
receiv^e and sell them under the provisions of this section."
In accordance with the foregoing provisions, prices are fixed on the
documents named in the Catalogue. In those cases where publications
are oft'ered for sale by the Departments issuing them, and price lists
have been issued, those prices have been adopted here. In other cases
the prices have lieen computed on the basis fixed in the law as above
quoted. Except as otherwise stated in the body of the Catalogue, these
computed prices call for paper or cloth covers, and a corresponding
increase will be made for books bound in leather or half leather. The
4 June, 1897
cost of paper covers is about Ic. per volume; of cloth cases, from 10c.
to 50c. per volume; of full sheep binding, from 75c. to $1.15 per volume
for octavos and $1.50 for quartos; of half russia or half turkey, $1.00
per volume.
WHERE DOCUMENTS ARE OBTAINABLE
It is the apparent intention of the new printing law (approved Jan-
uary 12, 1895) that the sales of public documents shall ultimately be
concentrated mainly if not wholly in the office of the Superintendent
of Documents. The provisions that 500 copies of each of the various
departmental puldications of every kind, as well as of the numbered
Congressional documents, shall be sent to him (sec. 58); that all the
accumulated documents in the Departments not needed lor official use
be sent to him now and annually (sec. 67) ; that any public officer hav-
ing documents for sale may turn them over to him (sec. 61) ; — all point
to such an intention. But thus far the law has been only partially
operative. No officer except the Public Printer has sufficiently desired
to be relieved of the sale of books to induce him to turn them over to
this office. The collection of the accumulations from the Departments
is not yet completed. The decision that 500 additional departmental
publications shall be printed for this office has not been made to cover
all such publications. Consequently many of the current documents
noted in the Monthly Catalogue can not be supplied, while of the older
documents, of which many thousands are liere on sale, no catalogue can
be furnishell. Thus the selling function of the office of the Superin-
tendent of Documents is comparatively undeveloped. But its develop-
ment is progressing steadily, if not rapidly.
The arrangements for disposing of public documents which existed
before the passage of the new law are still in operation. They are
extremely varied, and before the advent of the Monthly Catalogue no
attempt had been made to collect them and publish a comprehensive
statement for the benetit of general buyers. It is believed that the fol-
lowing statement describes most of their important features. It is
made, however, subject to correction as further information may be
received.
COXGRKSSIOXAI. RECORD
The Congressional Record, containing the proceedings and debates of
Congress, is issued daily when Congress is in session, and indexes thereto
are published semimonthly It is sold by the Public Printer on the fol-
lowing terms: Single copj*, 3c. if not more than 24 pp., and Ic. more for
each additional 8 pp. ; per month, $1.50; pershort session, $4.00; per long
session, $8.00. Subscriptions are payable in advance.
COURT REPORTS
TheA'olumes of Decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States,
perhaps the most important of all public documents, have never been
published by the Government. They are published by the official
reporter of the Court, through a private publishing house. There is
a statutory provision that a number of copies, amounting to 300 in
all, shall be furnished to various Departments of the Government free
of cost, and that the price to the public shall not exceed $2.00 per
volume. The cases in suits in which the Cnited States are not plaintiff
in error or appellant are also printed by contract at a ]irivate printing
house. Those documents of the Supreme Court which are printed at the
Government Printing Office are but a small part of the whole. They are
printed in very limited editions for the use of the Court and attorneys,
and no provision is made for their distribution or sale. By far the greater
part of the publications used in the proceedings of the Court are printed
by private litigants at their own cost. Ocrasionally. when a litigant
pleads poverty, the Court makes an order that his printing shall be done
at the Government Printing Office at public expense.
June, 1897 5
The documents of the Court of Claims are printed at the Government
Printing Office, but only for the use of the Court, and in very limited
editions. They are not accessible to the public except by consent of the
attorneys in interest. The Court makes an annual report to Congress,
which is a public document, and its findings are ]iri;ite<l in annual vol-
umes, of which only a limited edition, for official use. is issued by the
Court. Private ]uiblishers, however, may, and usually do. order from
the Public Printer separate editions, which they offer for sale.
C0N(iRESS10XAL QUOTAS
Senators and Representatives in Congress have allotments, often very
limited in number, of nearly all the more important Government publi-
cations, which are distributed on their order from the Senate and House
folding and document rooms.

departmental publications gratuitously, but sells the Revised Statutes,
Statutes at Large, and pamphlet laws. Address Disbursing Clerk. State

Survey are sold at the office of the Survey, in Washington, and also by
one or more sales agents iu each of the important American seaports.

all I'nited States custom-houses, at the branch hydrographic offices of
the Navy Department, and at the office of the Coast Survey.
Public Health Reports, issued weekly, showing health conditions in
various parts of this and other countries, as reported by the officers of the
Marine Hospital Service and others, is for gratuitous distribution, but
the edition is limited, and the document is intended only for health
officers and other persons interested in sanitary affairs. To obtain it
application should be made to the Supervising Surgeon-General of the
>Iarine Hospital Service, Treasury Department.
The weekly Catalogue of Copyrights, prepared by the Librarian of
Congress, is published by the Treasury Department, but is not sold by
that Department, nor by the Librarian. Those desiring it must sub-
scribe at the office of the collector of customs for the district in which
they live. The price is $5.00 per year.

W. Davis, War Records Office, War Department.
NAVY DEPARTMENT
The Navy Department will sell the surplus copies of the Official
Records of the Union and Confederate Navies after the distribution
ordered by law has been made. No copies are now available from this
source. The officer in immediate charge of the publication, to whom
inquiries may be addressed, is the Superintendent of Naval War Records,
Navy Department.
The charts, Sailing Directions, etc., of the Hydrographic Office are
sold by the Office in Washington, and also by agents at the principal
6 June, 1897
American and foreign seaports and American lake ports. Copies of the

Office in Washington and at the hranch offices in Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Norfolk, Savannah, New Orleans, San Fran-
cisco, Portland (Oreg. ), PortTownsend, Buffalo, Chicago, and Cleveland.
The same offices also supply the Light List and the Beacon and Buoy
List issued by the Light-House Board.
The Notice to Mariners contains information of newly discovered
dangers to navigation and of establishment and changes of lights and
other aids. For economy and convenience in distribution, the items in
each number relating to diflereut geographical sections are reprinted
sep'arately, as Notice to Mariners 19, sec. 1, etc. The information relat-
ing to the Great Lakes appears only in the Notice to Mariners for the
Great Lakes, issued monthly except .January and February.
It should 1)6 noted that tliere are four kinds of Notices to Mariners —
one issued at frequent but irregular intervals by the Light-House Board
(Treasury Department); one issued monthly by the Coast Survey
(Treasury Department) ; and two by the Hydrographic Office (Navy
Department), one of these last being weekly for the ocean and the other
monthly for the Great Lakes.

extracted from this publication, and other astronomical publications of
the Nautical Almanac Office, are sold by the Director of the Nautical
Almanac, U. S. Naval Observatory, Washington, D. C, and by agents of
that office in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, New Orleans, Portland

and 1890) should be sent to the Chief Clerk of the Interior Department,
indorsed "Document Division."
The various bureaus of the Interior Department have extensive and

June, 1897 7
The publications of the United States Geological Survey include annual
reports and Water-Supply and Irrigation Papers, which are intended for
free distribution ; and Monographs, Bulletins, and folios of the Geologic
Atlas of the United States, which are sold at prices ranging from 5c. to
$11.00 each.
The Geological Survey is making a topographic map of the United
States. The sheets of which it is composed are projected without refer-
ence to political divisions, and are designated by some prominent fea-
ture found on them. Three scales are used. 1 : 62,.500, 1 : 12;"), 000, and
1: 250,000. These correspond, approximately, to 1 mile, 2 miles, and 4
miles to 1 linear inch on the map. The size, unless otherwise given, is
about n^ inches in height by 11^ to 16 inches in width, exclusive of the
margin, the width varying with the latitude. A description of the topo-
graphic map is printed on the reverse of each sheet. About one-tifth of
the area of the country, excluding Alaska, has been mapped, nearly every
State being represented. Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
New Jersey, and the District of Columl)ia are completely mapped. Sheets
of the regular size are sold by the Survey at5<-. each; but in lots of 100
or more copies, whether of the same sheet or of ditferent sheets, the price
is 2c. each. Address the Director of the Geological Survey, Washington.
The Patent Office publishes specifications and drawings of patents,
both in single copies and monthly volumes, the former at 5c. and the
latter at $5,00. The former are not enumerated in this catalogue. For
certified copies of patents, including specification, drawing, certiticate,
and grant, the price is 80c. A variety of indexes, giving a complete
view of the work of the office from 1790 to date, are published at prices
ranging from 25c. to $10.00 per voli<me. The Kules of Practice and
pamphlet Patent Laws are furnished free. The weekly Official Gazette
is sold at 10c. a copy or $5.00 a year. It contaius lists of the new patents,
numbering about 450 a week. The Patent Office issues coupon orders
in packages of 20 at $1.00 per package, or in books containing 100 cou-
pons, at $5.00 per book. One coupon will procure a specification with
drawings, and two coupons a copy of the Official Gazette. They are
good until used. Address Chief Clerk. Patent Office.
Such publications of the Education Bureau as are in print may be had
gratuituously by addressing the Commissioner of Education. The
separates from the Commissioner's report, however, except the report
on education in Alaska, are now issued in a limited edition, which is
retained by the Bureau for reference and loan purposes and is not
available for distribution.
The General Land Office publishes separate State maps of the States
in which public lands are to be found, and also a large general map of
the United States, which is sold at $1.00. Address the Chief Clerk of
the Interior Department.
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTIRE
Those publications of the Department of Agriculture which are for
sale, except those of the Weather Bureau, will hereafter be supplied by
the Superintendent of Documents, Union Building, Washington, D. C.
The Department has no list of addresses to which all its publications
are sent. It issues a monthly list of publications, which is mailed to all
applicants, enabling them to select such reports and bulletins as interest
them. For the publications of the Weather Bureau application should
be made to the Chief of that Bureau. The serial publications of the
Department are not intended for general distribution. Requests for
them are referred to the divisions from which they are issued, and
instructions are then sent as to how the publications may be regularly
secured.
SMITHSONIAN IN.STITUTION
In its latest published catalogue and price list the Smithsonian Institu-
tion publishes this note: "The publications of the Smithsonian Insti-
tution consist of Contributions to Knowledge, Miscellaneous Collections,
8 June, 1807
and annual reports. No sets of these are for sale, and most of the vol-
umes are out of print. The edition of volumes of Contributions and
Collections is limited, and is distributed to designated public libraries
and to learned institutions in this country and abroad. A small edition
of some of the papers in the above publications is printed for sale or
exchange. For reports of the Institution or of the National Museum
or Bureau of Ethnology, application should be made to Members of
Congress or to the Director of the Bureau." fSeparates from the reports
of the Institution are for exchange only. The annual report is the only
Smithsonian publication that is a public document. All the others are
paid for from the private funds of the Institution.
VARIOUS BUREAUS
The publications of the Department of Labor and of the Fish Commis-
sion are distributed gratuitously through the heads of those Bureaus and
through Members of Congress. They are in much demand, and complete
sets can not much longer be supplied.
The Interstate Commerce Commission sends its reports free to all
applicants.
HOW TO REMIT
Eemittances to the Public Printer and the Superintendent of Docu-
ments should be made by postal money order, express money order, or
draft on New York. The Cieological Survey and tlie War Records Office
will receive currency as well as postal orders if the exact amount be
sent. The State Department will receive drafts on New York or Wash-
ington banks, as well as money orders or currency. None of the Depart-
ments or Bureaus will receive individual checks or postage stamps in
payment for books.
All the Government offices which have books for sale issue price lists,
which will be sent free to all applicants. The prices charged are never
more than cost and 10 per cent added, and frequently much less than
that.
All public documents, from whatever Department or Bureau they may
be bought, will be forwarded free of postage to all points in the United
States, Canada, and Mexico.

General Note
AUTHORITY FOR PUBLISHING THE CATALOGUE
This Monthly Catalogue is issued in accordance with the provisions
of section 69 of the Act providing for the public printing and binding
and tlie distribution of public documents, approved January 12, 1895,
which is as follows :
"Sec. 69. A catalogue of Government publications shnll be prepared
by the Superintendent of Documents on the tirst day of each month,
which shall show the documents printed during the preceding month,
where obtainable, and the price thereof. Two thousand copies of such
catalogue shall be printed in pamphlet form for distribution."
There is no direction as to who shall make the distribution, nor to
whom it shall be made. Thus far the Superintendent of Documents has
exercised his own discretion in the premises. In pursuance of this dis-
cretion copies of each issue have been sent to Senators, Representatives,
and Delegates in Congress, to the designated depository libraries, to
those Government Deiiartmeuts, Vmreaus. and offices which issue public
documents, to the officers of the Engineer Corps, U. S. A. (by request of
the Chief of the Corps), and, tiually, to those citizens who have asked
for them. No arbitrary list of names of people who have expressed no
interest in public documents has been made up. Only those unofficial
citizens who were known to want the Catalogue have been supplied
with it. By pursuing this course the small edition has thus far been
saved from entire exhaustion, and it is still possible, in special cases, to
supply all the numbers except the first. It will, however, soon be found
necessary to increase the number printed or to adopt some more restrict-
ive rule than that of "first come, first served," which has thus far been
followed. Requests for the regular receipt of the Catalogue have been
received from every part of this country and from several foreign coun-
tries, and additional requests are continually received.
SALES BY THE SUPERINTENDENT OF DOCUMENTS
Section 61 of the Act hereinbefore quoted provides as follows:
"The Superintendent of Documents-is hereby authorized to sell at cost
any public document in his charge, the distribution of which is not
herein specifically directed, said cost to be estimated by the Public
Printer and based upon printing from stereotyped plates; but only one
copy of any document shall be sold to the same person, excepting
librai'ies or schools by which additional copies are desired for separate
departments thereof, and Members of Congress; and whenever any
officer of the Government having in his charge documents published
for sale shall desire to be relieved of the same, he is hereby authorized
to turn them over to the Suiierintendent of Documents, who shall
receive and sell them under the provisions of this section."
In accordance with the foregoing provisions, prices are fixed on the
documents named in the Catalogue. In those cases where iiublications
are offered for sale by the Departments issuing them, and price lists
have been issued, those prices have been adopted here. In other cases
the prices have Ireen computed on the basis fixed in the law as above
quoted. Except as otherwise stated in the body of the Catalogue, these
computed prices call for paper or cloth covers, and a corresponding
increase will be made for books bound in leather or half leather. The
4 July, 1897
cost of paper covers is about Ic. per volume; of cloth cases, from 10c.
to 50c. per volume; of full sheep bindinji, from 75c. to $1.15 per volume
for octavos and $1.50 for quartos; of half russia or half turkey, $1.00
per volume.
WHERE DOCUMENTS ARE OBTAINABLE
It is the apparent intention of the new printing law (approved Jan-
uary 12, 1895) that the sales of public documents shall ultimately be
concentrated mainly if not wholly in the office of the Superintendent
of Ddcumi-nts. The provisions tliat 500 copies of each of the various
departmental publications of every kind, as well as of the numbered
Congressional documents, shall be sent to him (sec. 58) ; that all the
accumulated documents in the Departments not needed for official use
be sent to him now and annually (sec. 67); that any public officer hav-
ing documents for sale may turn them over to him (sec. 61) ; — all point
to such an intention. But thus far the law has been only partially
operative. No officer except the Public Printer has sufficientlj' desired
to be relieved of the sale of books to induce him to turn them over to
this office. The collection of the accumulations from the Departments
is not yet completed. The decision that 500 additional de]>artmental
publications shall be printed for this office has not been made to cover
all such publications. Conse<iu(!ntly many of the current documents
noted in the Monthly Catalogue can not be supplied, while of the older
documents, of which many thousands are here on sale, no catalogue can
be furnished. Thus the selling function of the office of the Superin-
tendent of Documents is comparatively undeveloped. But its develop-
ment is progressing steadily, if not rapidly.
The arrangements for disposing of public documents which existed
before the passage of the new law are still in operation. They sue
extremely varied, and before the advent of the Monthly Catalogue no
attempt had been made to collect them and publish a comprehensive
statement for the benefit of general buyers. It is believed that the fol-
lowing statement describes most of their important features. It is
made, however, subject to correction as further information may be
received.
CONGRKSSIONAI. KECOKD
The Congressional Record, containing the proceedings and debates of
Congress, is issued daily when Congress is in session, and indexes thereto
are published semimonthly. It is sold by the Public Printer on the fol-
lowing terms : Single copy, 3e. if not more than 24 pp., and Ic. more for
each additional 8 pp. ; per month, $1.50; pershort session, $4.00; per long
session, $8.00. Subscriptions are payable in advance.
The bound volumes of the Record are sold also by the Su])erintendent
of Documents, the price averaging about $1.40 per part. The set con-
taining the proceedings of the Ist session of the 54th Congress is in 8
parts and costs $11.50. That for the 2d session of the same Congress is
in 4 parts and costs $5.60.
COURT REPORTS
The volumes of Decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States,
perhaps the most important of all public documents, have never been
published by the Government. They are juiblished by the official
reporter of the Court, through a private publishing house. There is
a statutory provision that a number of copies, amounting to 300 in
all, shall be furnished to various Departments of the Government free
of cost, and that the price to the public shall not exceed $2.00 per
volume. The cases in suits in which the United States are not plaintiff
in error or appellant are also printed by contract at a ]trivate printing
house. Those documents of the Supreme Court which are printed at the
Government Printing Office are Imt a small i>art of the whole. They are
printed in very limited editions for the use of the Court and attorneys,
July, 1897 5
and no provision is made for their distribution or sale. By far the greater
part of the publications used in the proceedings of the Court are jtrinted
by private litigants at their own cost. Occasionally, when a litigant
pleads poverty, the Court makes an order that his printing shall be done
at the (ioverument Printing Otiice at public expense.
The documents of the Court of Claims are printed at the Government
Printing Office, but only for the use of the Court, and in very limited
editions. They are not accessible to the public except by consent of the
attorneys in interest. The Court makes an annual report to Congress,
which Is a ]iublic document, and its decisions are ]>rinted in annual vol-
umes, of which only a limited edition, for official use, is issued by the
Court. Private publishers, however, may, and usually do, order from
the Public Printer sei)arate editions, which they offer for sale.
CONGRESSIONAL QUOTAS

Topot/raphic sheets
Note.— The Geological Survej; is making a topographic map of the United
States. The sheets of which it is composed are projected without reference to
political divisions, and are designated by some prominent feature found on them.
Three scales are u.sed, 1:62,500, 1: 125,000, and 1:250,000. These correspond, ap-
proximately, to 1 mile, 2 miles, and 4 miles to 1 linear inch on the map. The size,
unless otherwise given, is about 17i inches in height by llj to 16 inches in width,
exclusive of the margin, the width varying with the latitude. A description of the
topographic map is jirinted on the reverse of each sheet catalogued below.
About one-fifth of the area of the I'ountry, excluding Alaska, has been mapped,
nearly every State being represented. Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rliode Ishiud,
New Jersey, and the District of Columbia are completely mapped. Sheets of the
regular size are sold by the Survey at 5c. each; but in lots of 100 or more copies,
whether of the same sheet or of diitferent sheets, the price is 2c. each.

Al'THORITY FOR PUBLISHING THE CATALOGUE
This MontLly Catalogue is issued iu accordance "svitli tbe provisions
of settion (j9 of the Act providing for the public pi'inting and binding
and the distribution of public documents, approved January 12, 1)^95,
"which is as follows:
"Sec. 69. A catalogue of Government ])ublications shall be prepared
by the Superintendent of Documents on the first day of each mouth,
which shall show the documeuts printed during the preceding month,
Avhere obtaiual)le. and the price thereof. Two thousand copies of such
catalogue shall be printed iu pamphlet form for distribution."'
There is no direction as to who shall make the distriljution, nor to
whom it shall Ite made. Thus far the Superintendent of Documents has
exercised his f)wu discretion in the premises. In pursuance of this dis-
<retion copies of each issue have been sent to Senators. I\ei>resentative3,
and Delegates iu Congress, to the designated depository libraries, to
those Government Departments, bureaus, and ofHces which issue public
documents, to the officers of the Engineer Corps, U. S. A. (by retjuest of
the Chief of the Corps), and. finally, to those citizens who have asked
lor them. No arbitrary list of nami-s of ])eoi>le who have expressed no
interest In public documents has been made up. Only those nnotficial
citizens who were known to want the Catalogue have been sup])lied
with it. By pursuing this course the small eciition has thus far been
saved from entire exhaustion, and it is still ])Ossible, in special cases, to
supply all the numbers except the first and the sixteenth. It will, how-
ever, soon be found necessary to increase the number printed or to adopt
some more restrictive rule than that of ''first come, first served," which
lias thus far been followed. Ke(|uests for the regular receijit of the
Catalogue have been received from every part of this country and from
several foreign countries, and additional requests are continually re-
ceived.
SALES BY THE SUPERINTENDENT OF DOCUMENTS
Section 61 of the Act hereinbefore quoted provides as follows :
" The Superintendent of Documents is hereby authorized to sell at cost
any public document in his charge, the distribution of which is not
herein specifically directed, said cost to be estimated by the I'ublic
Printer and based upon printing from stereotyped plates; but only one
copy of any document shall be sold to the same person, excepting
libraries or schools by which additional copies are desired for separate
departments thereof, and Members of Congress; and whenever any
otticer of the (Government having in his charge docunaents published
for sale shall desire to be relieved of the same, he is hereby authorized
to turn them over to the Superintendent of Documents, who shall
receive and sell them under the provisions of this section."
In accordance with the foregoing provisions, prices are fixed on the
documents named iu the Catalogue. In those cases where publications
are offered for sale by the Departments issuing them, and price lists
have been issued, those prices have been ailopted here. In other cases
the prices have been computed on the basis fixed in the law as above
quoted. Except as otherwise stated in the body of the Catalogue, these
computed prices call for paper or cloth covers, and a corresponding
3
4 August, 1897
iucrease will be made for books bound in leather or half leather. The
co-t of jtaper covers is about Ic. per volume; of cloth cases, from 10c.
to 50c. per volume; of full sheep binding, from 75c. to $1.15 per volume
for octavos and $1.50 for quartos; of half russia or half turkey, $1.00
per volume,
AVHERE DOCUMENTS ARE OBTAINABLE
It is the apparent intention of the new printing law (approved Jan-
uary 12, 1895) that the sales of i)ublic documents shall ultimately be
concentrated mainly if not wholly in the office of the Superintendent
of Documents. The provisions that 500 copies of each of the various
departmental publications of every kind, as well as of the numbered
Congressional documents, shall be sent to him (sec. 58) ; that all the
accumuhxted documents in the Departments not needed for official use
be sunt to him now and annually (sec. 67) ; that any i)ublic officer hav-
ing documents for sale may turn them over to him (sec. 61) ; — all point
to such an intention. But thus far the law has been only partially
operative. No officer except the Public Printer has sufficiently desired
to be relieved of the sale of books to induce him to turn them over to
this office. The collection of the accumulations from the Departments
is not yet completed. The decision that 500 additional departmental
publications shall be printed for this office has not been made to cover
all such publications. Conse<iuently manj' of the current documents
noted in the Monthly Catalogue can not be supplied, while of tiie older
docimjents, of which many thousands are here on sale, no catalogue can
be furnished. Thus the selling function of the office of the Superin-
tendent of Documents is comparatively undeveloped. But its develop-
ment is progressing steadily, if not rapidly.
The arrangements for disposing of public documents which existed
before the passage of the new law are still in operation. They are
extremely varied, and before the advent of the Monthly Catalogue no
attempt had been made to collect them and publish a comprehensive
statement for the benefit of general buyers. It is believed that the fol-
lowing statement describes most of their important features. It is
made, however, subject to correction as further information may be
received.
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD
The Congressional Record, containing the proceedings and debates of
Congress, is issued daily when Congress is in session, and indexes thereto
are published semimonthly. It is sold by the Public Printer on the fol-
lowing terms: Single copy, 3c. if not more than 24 pj)., and Ic. more for
each additional 8 pp. ; per month, $1.50 ; per short session, $4.00 ; per long
session, $8.00. Subscriptions are payable in advance.
The bound volumes of the Record are sold also by the Superintendent
of Documents, the price averaging about $1.40 per part. The set con-
taining the proceedings of the 1st session of tbe 54th Congress is in 8
parts and costs $11.50. That for the 2d session of the same Congress is
in 4 i^arts and costs $5,60.
COURT REPORTS
The volumes of Decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States,
perhaps the most important of all public documents, have never been
published by the Government. They are published by the official
reporter of the Court, through a private publishing house. There is
a statutory provision that a number of copies, amounting to 300 in
all, shall be furnished to various Departments of the Goverunient free
of cost, and that the price to the public shall not exceed $2.00 per
volume. The cases in suits in which the United States are not plaintiff
in error or appellant are also printed by contract at a private printing
house. Those documents of the Supreme Court which are printed at the
Government Printing Office are but a small part of the whole. They are
August, 1897 6
printed in very limited editions for the use of the Court and attorneys,
and no provision is made fortlieii"distiil)utiou or sale. By far the greater
part of the jiublicatious userl in the proceedings of the Court are])rinted
hy ])rivate litigants at tlieir own cost. Occasionally, when a litigant
pleads poverty, the Court makes an order that his printing shall be done
at tlie Government Printing Office at public expense.
The documents of the Court of Claims are printed at the Government
Printing Office, but only for the use of the Court, and in very limited
editions. They are not accessible to the public except by consent of the
attorneys in interest. The Court makes an annual report to Congress,
wiiich is a ])ublic document, and its decisions are jirinted in annual vol-
umes, of which only a limited edition, for official use. is issued by the
Court. Private publishers, however, may, and usually do. order from
the Public Printer separate editions, which they offer for sale.
COXC.RESSIOXAL QUOTAS
Senators and Eepresentatives in Congress have allotments, often very
limited in number, of nearly all the more important Government pul)li-
cations, which are distributed on their order from the Senate and House
folding and document rooms.

Those publications of the Department of Agriculture which are for

Tire Department has no list of addresses to which all its publications
are sent. It issues a monthly list of publications, which is mailed to all
applicants, enalding them to select such reports and bulletins as iuten st
them. For the publications of the Weather Bureau applications should
be made to the Chief of that Bureau. The serial publications of the
Department are not intended for general distribution. Ee(]uests for
them are referred to the divisions from which they are issued, and
instructions are then sent as to how the publications may be regularly
secured.
SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION
In its latest published catalogue and price list the Smithsonian Institu-
tion publishes this note: "The publications of the Smithsonian Insti-
tution consist of Contributions to Knowledge, Miscellaneous Collections,
and annual reports. No sets of these are for sale, and most of the vol-
umes are out of print. The edition of volumes of Contributions and
Collections is limi.ted, and is distributed to designated public libraries
and to learned institutions in this country and abroad. A small edition
of some of the papers in the above publications is printed for sale or
exchange. For reports of the Institution or of the National Museum,
application should be made to Members of Congress." Separates from
the reports of the Institution are lor exchange only. The annual report
is the only Smithsonian publication that is a public document. All the
others are paid for from the private funds of the Institution.
The annual reports of the Bureau of Ethnology (with accompanying
papers) are distributed by jMembers of Congress and the Director of the
Bureau ; but the editions are not large enough to enable them to accede
to all requests. Of the reports without ace ompanyiug papers, and of
the separate papers, very few copies are printed.
8 August, 1897
The publications of the National Museum comprise bulletins, annual
reports, and an annual volume of Proceedings. The editions of these
are too limited to admit of general distribution. The separates from the
Proceedings and from the reports may be obtained on application to the
Museum, until the supply is exhausted.
VARIOUS BUREAUS
The publications of the Department of Labor and of the Fish Commis-
sion are distributed gratuitously through the heads of those Bureaus and
through Members of Congress.
The Interstate Commerce Commission sends its reports free to all
applicants.
HOW TO REMIT
Eemittances to the Public Printer and the Superintendent of Docu-
ments should be made by postal money order, express money order, or
draft on New York. Remittances to the Geological Survey should be
made by money order. The War Records Office will receive cun-ency
as well as money orders if the exact amount be sent. The State Depart-
ment will receive drafts on New York or Washington banks, as well as
money orders or currency. None of the Departments or Bureaus will
receive individual checks or postage stamps in payment for books.
All the Government offices which have books, pamphlets, maps, or
charts for sale issue price lists, which will be sent free to all applicants.
The prices charged are never more than cost and 10 per cent added, and
frequently much less than that.
All public documents, from whatever Department or Bureau they may
be bought or procured, will be forwarded free of postage to all points
in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Note. — The Geologuial Survey is making a topographic map of the Uuited
States. The sheets of which it is composed are projected without reference to
political divisions, and are designated by some prominent feature found on them.
Three scales are used, 1:02,500, 1 :125,600, and 1:250,000. These correspond, ap-
proximately, 1o 1 mile, 2 miles, and 4 miles to 1 linear inch on tlie map. The size,
unless otlierwise given, is about 17J inches in height by Hi to 16 inches in width,
exclusive of the margin, the width varying with the latitude. A description of the
topograpliic map is printed on the reverse of each sheet catalogued above, unless
otherwise stated.
About one-tifth of the area of the country, excluding Alaska, has been mapped,
nearly every State being represented. Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
New Jersey, and the District of Columbia are completely mapped. Sheets of the
regul.ir size are sold by the Survey at 5c each ; but in lots of 100 or more copies,
whether of the same sheet or of ditferent sheets, the price is 2c. each.

General Note
AUTHORITY FOR PUBLISHING THE CATALOGUE
This Monthly Catalogue is issued in accordance with the provisions
of seition 69 of the Act providinji for the public printinjf and binding
and the distribution of jiublic documents, approved January 12, 18'J5,
which is as follows:
"Sec. 69. A catalogue of Government publications shall be prepared
by the Superintendent of Documents on the lirst day of each mouth,
which shall show the documents printed during the preceding month,
where obtaiuablf, and the price thereof. Two thousand coi)ies of suih
catalogue shall bo printed in pami>hlet form for distribution,"
There is no direction as to who shall make the distribution, nor to
whom it shall be made. Thus far the Superintendent of Documentshas
exercised his own discretion in the premises. In pursuance of this dis-
cretion copies of each issue have been sent to Senators, Representatives,
and Delegates in Congress, to the designated dei)08itory libraries, to
those Government Departments, bureaus, and offices which issue public
documents, to the officers of the Engineer Corps, U. S. A. (by re([uest of
the Chief of the Corps), and. iinally, to those citizens who have asked
for them. No arbitrary list of names of people who have expressed no
interest in public documents has l)een made up. Only those unofficial
citizens who were known to want the Catalogue have been sup])lied
with it. ]?y pursuing this course the small etiition has thus far been
saved from entire exhaustion, and it is still ])ossible, in special cases, to
supply all the numbers except the lirst and the sixteenth. It will, how-
ever, soon be found necessary to increase the number printed or to adopt
some more restrictive rule than that of "lirst come, tiist served," which
has thus far been followed. Reciuests for the regular receipt of the
Catalogue have been received from eveiy part of this country and
from several foreign countries, and additional requests are continually
received.
SALES BY THE SUPERINTENDENT OF DOCUMENTS
Section 61 of the Act hereinliefore quoted provides as follows:
"The Superintendent of Documents is hereby authorized to sell at cost
any public document in his charge, the distribution of which is not
herein specifically directed, said cost to be estimated by the Public
Printer and based upon printing from stereotyped plates; but only one
copy of any document shall be sold to the same person, excepting
libraries or schools by which additional copies are desired for separate
departments thereof, and Members of Congress; and whenever any
officer of the (iovernment having in his cliarge documents published
for sale shall desire to be relieved of the same, he is hereby authorized
to turn them over to the Superintendent of Documents, who shall
receive and sell them under the provisions of this section.''
In accordance with the foregoing provisions, prices are tixed on the
documents naiued in the Catalogue. In those cases where publications
are offered for sale by the Departments issuiiig them, and price lists
have been issued, those prices have been adopted here. In other cases
the prices have been computed on the basis fixed in the law as above
quoted. Except as otherwise stated in the body of the Catalogue, these
com])uted prices call for paper or cloth covers, and a corresponding
increase will be made for books bound in leather or half leather. The
4 September, 1897
fo-t of p;iper covers is about le. per volume; of cloth cases, froui 10c.
to 50c. per volume: of lull sheep bimlinj;, from 75c. to $1.15 per volume
for octavos ami $1.50 for quartos; of half russia or half turkey, $1,00
per volume.
WHERE DOCUMENTS ARE OBTAINABLE
It is the apiiareut intention of the new printing law (approved .Jan-
uary' 12, 1895) that the sales of public documents shall ultimately bo
concentrated mainly if not wholly in the office of the Superintendent
of Documents. The provisions that 500 copies of each of the various
departmental publications of every kind, as well as of the numbered
Congressional documents, shall be sent to him (sec. 5fS) ; that all the
accumulated documents in the Departments not needed for official use
be sent to him now and annually (sec. 67) ; that any ])ublic officer hav-
ing documents for sale may turn them over to him (sec. 61) ; — all poiut
to such an intention. But thus far the law has been only partially
operative. No officer except the Public Printer has sufficiently desired
to be relieved of the sale of books to induce him to turn them over to
this office. The collection of the accumulations from the Departments
is not yet completed. The decision that 500 additional departmental
publications shall be printed for this office has not been made to cover
all such publications. Consecjuently many of the current documents
noted in the Monthly Catalogue can not be supplied, while of the older
documents, of which many thousands are here on s:de. no catalogue can
be furnished. Thus the selling function of the office of the Sui)erin-
tendent of Documents is comparatively undeveloped. But its develoij-
ment is progressing steadily, if not ra])idiy.
The arrangements for disposing of ]iiiblic documents which existed
before the passage of the new law are still in operation. They are
extremely varied, and before the advent of the Monthly Catalogue no
attempt had been made to collect them and x>>ihlish a comprehensive
statement for the benefit of general Iniyers. It is believed that the iol-
lowing statement describes most of their important features. It is
made, however, subject to correction as further information may be
received.
COXGKESSIOXAL RECORD
The Congressional Record, containing the proceedings and debates of
Congress, is issued daily when Congress is in session, and indexes thereto
are publishe<l semimonthly. It is sold by the Public Printer on the fol-
lowing terms: Single copy, 3c. if not more than 24 pp , and Ic. more for
each additional 8 pp. ; per month, $1.50; per short session, $4.00; per long
session, $8.00. Subscri|>tion8 are pa;yable in advance.
The bound volumes of the Record are sold also by the Superintendent
of Documents, the price averaging about $1.40 i)er part. The set con-
taining the proceedings of the 1st session of the 54th Congress is in 8
parts and costs $11.50. That for the 2d session of the same Congress is
in 4 parts and costs $5.60.
COURT REPORTS
The volumes of Decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States,
perhaps the most important of all public documents, have never been
published by the Government. They are published by the official
reporter of the Court, through a jirivate publishing house. There is
a statutory provision that a number of copies, amounting to HOO in
all, shall be furnished to various Departments of tiie Government free
of cost, and that the price to the public shall not exceed $2.00 per
volume. The cases in suits in which the United States are not plaintiif
in error or appellant are also printed by contract at a private ])rinting
house. Those documents of the Supreme Court which are printed at the
Government Printing Office are but a small part of the whole. They are
printed in very limited editions for the use of the Court and attorneys,
September, 1897 5
aud no provision is made for their distribution or sale. By far the greater
j)art of the publications used in tlie jiroi-eedings of the Court are i)rinted
by private litigants at their own cost. Occasionally, when a litigant
pleads poverty, the Court makes an order that his printing shall be done
at the (iovei'nment Printing Office at ])ublic ex])en8c.
The documents of the Court of Claims are ])rinted at the Government
Printing Ofticc, but only for the use of the Court, and in very limited
editions. They are not accessible to the public except by consent of the
attorneys in interest. The Court makes an annual report to Congress,
which is a ])ublic document, and its decisions aroiiriuted in aunual vol-
umes, of which only a limit<'d edition, for ofKcial use, is issued liy the
Court. Private jiublishers, however, nuxy, and usually do, order from
the Public Printer separate editions, which they offer for sale.
CONGRESSIONAL QUOTAS
Senators and Representatives in Congress have allotments, often A'ery
limited in number, of nearly all the more important Government piibli-
cations, which are distributed on their order i'rom this Senate and House
folding aud document rooms.

ment or directly from the bnreans. These include the issues of the Pen-
sion, Patent, and Land offices, the Geological Survey, and the Education

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Those publications of the Department of Agriculture which are for
sale, exeei>t those of the Weather Bureau, will hereafter be supplied by
the Superintendent of Documents, Union Building, Washington, D. C.
The Department has no list of addresses to which all its publications
are sent. It issues a monthly list of publications, which is mailed to all
applicants, enabling them to select such reports and bulletins as interest
them. For the publications of the Weather Bureau application should
be made to the Chief of that Bureau. The serial publications of the
Department are not intended for general distribution. Reijuests for
them are referred to the divisions from which they are issued, and
instructions are then sent as to how the publications may be regularly
secured.
SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION
In its latest published catalogue and price list the Smithsonian Institu-
tion publishes this note: "The publications of the Smithsonian Insti-
tution consist of Contributions to Knowledge, Miscellaneous Collections,
and annual reports. No sets of these are for sale, and most of the vol-
umes are out of print. The edition of volumes of Contributions and
Collections is limited, and is distributed to designated public libraries
and to learned institutions in this country and abroad. A small edition
of some of the papers in the above publications is printed for sale or
exchange. For reports of the Institution or of the National Museum,
application should be made to Members of Congress." Separates from
the reports of the Institution are for exchange only. The annual report
is the only Smithsonian publication that is a public document. All the
others are paid for from the private funds of the Institution.
8 ■ September, 1897
The amiiial reports of the Bureau of Ethuology (with aceompanyiDjr
papers) are distributed by ^Members of Congress and the Director of the
Bureau; but the editions are not large enough to enable them to accede
to all reipiests. Of the reports -n-ithont accompanying papers, and of
the separate papers, very few copies are printed.
The puldications of the National Museum comprise bulletins, annual
reports, and an annual volume of Proceedings. The editions of these
are too limited to admit of general distribution. The separates from the
Proceedings and from the reports may be obtained on application to the
Museum, until the supply is exhausted.
VARIOUS BUREAUS
The publications of the Department of Labor and of the Fish Commis-
sion are distributed gratuitously through the heads of those Bureaus and
through M( mbers of Congress.
The Interstate Commerce Commission sends its reports free to all
applicants.
HOW TO REMIT
Remittances to the Public Printer and the Superintendent of Docu-
ments should be made by postal money order, express money order, or
draft on New York. Eeinittances to the Geological Survey should be
made by money order. The War Eecords OtSce will receive cun-ency
as well as money orders if the exact amount be sent. The State Depart-
ment will receive drafts on New York or Washington banks, as well as
money orders or currency. None of the Departments or Bureaus will
receive individual checks or postage stamps in payment for books.
All the Government offices which have books, pamphlets, maps, or
charts for sale issue price lists, which will be sent free to all applicants.
The prices charged are never more than cost and 10 [)er cent added, and
frequently much less than that.

TopograpMc sheets
KoTE. — Tbe Geological Survey is making a topograpbic map of the Tnited
States. The sliects of which it is composed are projected without reference to
political divisions, and are designated by some prominent feature found on them.
Three scales are used, 1:62,500, 1 : 125,000. and 1:250,000. These correspond, ap-
proximately, to 1 mile, 2 miles, and 4 miles to 1 linear inch on the map. The size,
unless otherwise given, is about 17J inches in height by \lh to 16 inches in width,
exclusive of the margin, tbe width varying with tiie latitude. A description of the
topograpbic ma]) is printed on the reverse of each .sheet catalogued below, unless
otherwise stated.
About oue-lifth of the area of tlie country, excluding Alaska, has been mapped,
nearly every State being represented. Massachusetts. (Jounecticut, llhode Island,
New Jersey, and the District of Columbia are completely majiped. Sheets of tbe
regular size are sold by tbe Survey at 5c. each ; but in lots of 100 or more copies,
whether of tlie saiue sheet or of different sheets, the price is 2c. each.

General Note
AUTHORITY FOR PUBLISHING THE CATALOGUE
This Monthly Catalogue is issued, iu accordance with the provisions
of section 69 of the Act providing for tlie public printing and binding
and the distribution of public documents, approved January 12, 1895,
which is as follows :
"Sec. 69. A catalogue of Government publications shall be prepared
by the Superintendent of Documents on the first day of each month,
which shall show the documents printed during the preceding month,
where obtainable, and the price thereof. Two thousand cojjies of such
catalogue shall be printed iu pamjjhlet form for distribution."'
There is no direction as to who shall make the distribution, nor to
whom it shall be made. Thus far the Superintendent of Documentshas
exercised his own discretion in the premises. In pursuance of this dis-
cretion copies of each issue have been sent to Senators. Representatives,
and Delegates in Congress, to the designated depository libraries, to
those Government Departments, bureaus, and offices whicli issue public
documents, to the officers of tbe Eugineer Corps, U. S. A. (by request of
the Chief of the Corps), and. finally, to those citizens who have asked
for them. Xo arbitrary list of names of people who have expressed no
interest in public documents has lieen made up. Ouly those unofficial
citizens who were known to want the Catalogue have been supplied
with it. By pursuing this course the small edition has thus far been
saved from entire exhaustion, and it is still i)Ossible, in special cases, to
supply all the numbers except the first and the sixteenth. It will, how-
ever, soon be found necessary to increase the number printed or to adopt
some more restrictive rule than that of ''Hrst come, first served," which
has thus far been followed. Re([uests for the regular receijit of the
Catalogue have been received from every part of this country and
from several foreign countries, and additional requests are continually
received.
SALES BY THE SUPERINTENDENT OF DOCUMENTS
Section 61 of the Act hereinbefore quoted provides as follows :
'•The Superintendent of Documents is hereliy authorized to sell at cost
any public document in his charge, the distribution of which is not
herein specifically directed, said cost to be estimated by the Public
Printer and based upon printing from stereotyped plates; but only one
copy of any document shall be sold to the same person, excepting
libraries or schools by whicli additional copies are desired for separate
departments thereof, and Members of Congress; and whenever any
officer of the (Government having in his charge documents published
for sale shall desire to be relieved of the same, he is hereby authorized
to turn them over to the Superinteudent of Documents, who shall
receive and sell them under the provisions of this section."'
In accordance with the foregoing provisions, prices are fixed on the
documents named iu the Catalogue. In those cases where publications
are otfered for sale by the Departments issuing them, and price-lists
have Iteen issued, those prices ha^e been adopted here. In other cases
the prices have been computed on the basis fixed in the law as above
quoted. Except as otherwise stated in the body of the Catalogue, these
computed prices call for paper or cloth covers, and a corresponding
increase will be made for books bound in leather or half leather. The
4 October, 1897
cost of paper covers is about Ic per volume; of cloth cases, from 10c.
to 50c. per volume; of lull sheep binding, from 75c. to 11.15 pervohuie
for octavos and $1.50 for quartos; of half russia or half turkey, $1.00
per volume.
WHERE DOCUMENTS ARE OBTAINABLE
It is the apparent intention of the new printing law (approved Jan-
uary 12, 1895) that the sales of public documents shall ultimately be
concentrated mainly if not wholly in the office of the Superintendent
of Documents. The provisions that 500 copies of each of the various
departmental publications of every kind, as well as of the numbered
Congressional documents, shall be sent to him (sec. 58); that all the
accumulated documents in the Departments not needed for official use
be sent to him now and annually (sec. 67); that any public officer hav-
ing documents for sale may turn them over to him (sec. 61) ; — all point
to such an intention. But thus far the law h;is been only partially
operative. No officer except the Public Printer has sufficiently desired
to be relieved of the sale of books to induce him to turn them over to
this office. The collection of the accumulations from the Departments
is not yet completed. The decision that 500 additional departmental
publications shall be printed for this office has not been made to cover
all such publications. Consequently many of the current documents
noted in the Monthly Catalogue can not lie supplied, while of the older
documents, of which many thousands are here on sale, no catalogue can
be furnislied. Thus the selling function of the office of the Superin-
tendent of Documents is comparatively undeveloped. But its develop-
ment is progressing steadily, if not rapidly.
The arrangements for disposing of public documents which existed
before the passage of the new law are still in operation. They are
extremely varied, and before the advent of the Monthly Catalogue no
attempt had been made to collect them and publish a conn)rehensive
statement for the benefit of general liuyers. It is believed that the fol-
lowing statement describes most of their important features. It is
made, however, subject to correction as further information may be
received.
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD
The Congressional Record, containing the proceedings and debates of
Congress, is issued daily when Congress is in session, and indexes thereto
are published semimonthly. It is sold by the Public Printer on the fol-
lowing terms: Single copy, 3c. if not more than 24 pp., and Ic. more for
each additional 8 pp. ; per month, $1.50; per short session, $4.00; per long
session, $8.00. Subscriptions are pa.\able in advance.
The bound volumes of the Record are sold also by the Suxierintendent
of Documents, the price averaging about $1.40 per part. The set con-
taining the proceedings of the 1st session of the 54th Congress is in 8
parts and costs $11.50. That for the 2d session of the same Congress is
in 4 parts and costs $5.60. That for the 1st session of the 55th Congress
is also in 4 parts, costing $5.60.
COURT REPORTS
The volumes of Decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States,
perhaps the most important of all public documents, have never been
published by the Government. They are published by the official
reporter of the Court, through a private publishing house. There is
a statutory provision that a number of copies, amounting to 300 in
all, shall be furnished to various Departments of the Government free
of cost, and that the price to the public shall not exceed $2.00 per
A'olume. The cases in suits in which the United States are not plaintiff
in error or appellant are also printed by contract at a private printing
honse. Those documents of the Supreme Court which are printed at the
Government Printing Office are but a small part of the whole. They are
October, 1897 5
printed in very limited editions for the use of the Court aud attorneys,
and no provision is made for tbeir distiihntion or sale. By far the greater
part of the publications used in the proceedings of the Court are printed
by private litigants at their own cost. Occasionally, when a litigant
pleads poverty, the Court makes an order that his printing shall be done
at the Government Printing Office at public expense.
The documents of the Court of Claims are printed at the Government
Printing Office, but only for the use of the Court, and in very limited
editions. They are not accessible to the public except by consent of the
attorneys in interest. The Court makes an annual report to Congress,
which is a ])nblic document, and its decisions are jiriiitedin annual vol-
umes, of which only a limited edition, for otHcial use. is issued by the
Court. Private ]iublishers, however, may, and usually do. order from
the Public Printer separate editions, which they offer for sale.
CONGRESSIONAL QUOTAS
Senators and Representatives in Congress have allotments, often very
limited in number, of nearly all the more important Government publi-
cations, which are distributed on their order from the Senate and House
folding aud document rooms.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTrRE
Those publications of the Department of Agriculture which are for
sale, except those of the Weather Bureau, will liereal'ter be supplied by
the Su])erintendent of Documents, Union Building, Washington, D. C.
The Department has no list of addresses to Avhich all its publications
are sent. It issues a monthly list of publications, which is mailed to all
applicants, enablmg them to select such reports and bulletins as interest
them. For the publications of the Weather Bureau application should
be made to the Chief of that Bureau. The serial publications of the
Department are not intended for general distribution. Reijuests for
them are reterred to the divisions from which they are issued, and
instructions are then sent as to how the publications may be regularly
secured.
SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION
la its latest published catalogue and price list the Smithsonian Institu-
tion publishes this note: "The publications of the Smithsonian Insti-
tution consist of Contributions to Knowledge, Miscellaneous Collections,
and annual reports. No sets of these are for sale, and most of the vol-
umes are out of print. The edition of volumes of Contributions and
Collections is limited, and is distributed to designated public libraries
and to learned institutions in this country and abroad. A small edition
of some of the papers in the above publications is printed for sale or
exchange. For reports of the Institution or of the National Museum
application should be made to Members of Congress." Separates from
the reports of the Institution are lor exchange only. The annual report
is the only Smithsonian publication that is a public document. All the
others are paid for from the private funds of the Institution.
The annual reports of the Bureau of Ethnology (with accompanying
papers) are distributed by Members of Congress and the Director of the
Bureau; but the editions are not large enough to enable them to accede
to all requests. Of the reports without accompanying papers, and of
the separate papers, very few copies are printed.
The publications of the National Museum comprise bulletins, annual
reports, and an annual volume of Proceedings. The editions of these
8 October, 1897
are too limited to admit of general distribution. The separates from the
Proceedings and from the reports may be obtained on application to the
Museum, until the supply is exhausted.
VARIOUS BUREAUS
The publications of the Department of Labor and of the Fish Commis-
sion are distributed gratuitously through the heads of those Bureaus and
thrcjugh Members of Congress.
The Interstate Commerce Commission sends its reports free to all
applicants.
HOW TO REMIT
Eemittances to the Public Printer and the Superintendent of Docu-
ments should be made by postal money order, express money ordei', or
draft on New York. Remittances to the Geological Survey should be
made by money order. The War Records Office will leceive currency
as well as money orders if the exact amount be sent. The State Depart-
ment will receive drafts on New York or Washington banks, as well as
money orders or currency. None of the Departments or Bureaus will
receive individual checks or postage stamps in payment forl>ooks.
All the Government of3Bces which have books, pamphlets, maps, or
charts for sale issue price-lists, which will be sent free to all applicants.
The prices charged are never more than cost and 10 per cent added, and
frequently much less than that.
All public documents, from whatever Department or Bureau they may
be bought or procured, will be forwarded free of postage to all points
in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

METHODS OF PUBLICATION OF CONGRESSIONAL DOCUMENTS
111 the belief that manj" readers Avill welcome a guide through the
maze of Congressional document enumeration this note is printed.
DOCUMENTS
The distinction that had been maintained for many years between
executive and miscellaneous documents disappeared with the opening of
the Fifty-fourth Congress. The provision of tlie law of Jan. 12, 1895,
that there should be but one set of publications under the specific title
of ''Documents" for each l)ranch of Congress, then became operative.
Instead of Senate Executive Documents and Senate IMiscellaneous Docu-
ments, House Executive Documents and House Miscellaneous Documents,
we have now only Senate Documents and House Documents.
October, 1897 11
Documents bear a new set of numbers, beginning at Xo. 1. with each
session, so that in each Congress there are at least two scries of Docu-
ments in each house, and more if there are more than two sessions.
That they may be in the hands of Members at the earliest moment,
Documents are sent up to the Capitol an<l distributed at first in unbound
Ibrin. They are sulise(iu(ntly bound in sheep for distribution to the
designated depositories of public documents, for the foreign exchanges,
and for the .Senate, House, and Congressional libraries. Many of them
are also bound in cloth for the use of the Departments which prepare
them, and for distribution by Senators and Representatives. Though
only one class of publications is specitically entitled "Documents," yet
all the publications issued by direct authority of Congress are spoken of
generically as "Congressional documents," and the Government publi-
cations of every kind are known as •* public documents."
The Reports from the committees of the .Senate and the House are
numbered continuously through each Congress, the numbers for the
second session beginning where those for the first session left ofi^. The
Reports are identified with the bills or resolutions to which they relate
by the bracketed inscription [To accompany S. 1] if Senate bill Xo. 1 is
the measure reported upon, or "S. R. 1" if it is a Senate Joint resolution,
"H. R. 1"' if a House bill, and "H. Res. 1" if a House joint ies(dntion.
The Reports appear at first in unbound form, and at the close of the
session are gathered into volumes and bound in sheep
Bills also are numbered continuously through the Congress in which
they originate. The small percentage of those introduced which run
the gauntlet and come out laws undergo several metamorphoses. When
first printed they appear in what is called " bill form " ; that is, in pages
of foolscap size, in large type, with wide spaces for writing in amend-
ments, and are numbered in the order of their introduction. If they
have the good fortune to be favorably reported back from a committee
and placed on the Calendar of the Senate or House for further consid-
eration, they are again printed in bill form, showing the amen<lment8
made in committee, if anj'. In the Senate they then receive, in addition
to the original number, another number, indicating the order in which
they were placed on the Calendar. This new number is called the
"Calendar No.'' upon the Bill itself, and upon the report accompanying
the Bill, and is usually so spoken of; but on the Calendar it is called the
"Order No-" Calendar numbers are also assigned in the House, but do
not appear on the Bills themselves nor on the House Reports.
When a Bill passes both branches of Congress and receives the approval
of the P^e^ldent it ceases to be a Bill and becomes a law. It is then
printed in "slip form"'; that is, in octavo pages, but unbound. In this
form it receives a new number, and is then known as "Public — No. 1"
if it IS a public act, or "Private — No. 1"' if it hap])ens to be a private
act; or in either case by whatever other number may happen to belong
to it, according to the chronological order of its approval by the Presi-
dent. These series of "Slip numbers" begin over again with each ses-
sion
The final form of the biU is its permanent enshrinement as a Chapter,
first in the "Pamphlet Laws," printed at the end of each session, and
then in the volume of " Statutes at Large," printexl at the close of each
Congress. The Chapter number which the enactment then receives is
not the same as the Bill number, or the Calendar number, or the Slip num-
ber. The Bill and Calendar numbers are given J)y officers of Congress,
but the Slip and Chapter numbers aie given by the Department of State,
and the Chapter number is arrived at in this way : When the public au«l
jirivate series of Slip laws are taken up for compilation in a volume of
Pamphlet Laws, the whole number are arranged chronologically in one
series without regard to their previous numbering. If there are public
12 October, 1897
and private laws of the same date, prefedence in number is given to the
pu)>lic laws. When the two scries of public and private laws have thus
been thrown into one chronolotjical series they receive their chapter
numbers in that order. Then, however, the public and private laws are
again separated, and the public laws are printed in the first part of the
book, the private laws followinj;'. Thus the chapters of public l;i ws are
In numerical order, minus those numbers Avhich hap])en to be apptopri-
ated by the private laws; and the private laws are in numerical order,
minus the numbers which happen to bo a]ipro])riated by the public laws.
Tliis ;irrangement makes reference from the slip numbers to the chapter
numl)er8, and vice versa, virtually impossible.
Private laws arc defined bylaw to be tliose which are lor the relief of
private parties, those granting pensions, and those removing political
disabilities. All others are public laws.
RESOLUTIONS
Formerly concurrent and simple Resolutions, if ordered to be printed
at all, were printed, numbered, and bound as miscellaneous documents.
Beginning with the Fifty-fourth Congress, they are ])rinted and num-
bered in series by themselves. The simple resolutions are found only in
bill form, in thi^ Journals of tlie S<'uate and House, and in th<' Con-
gressional Record. By an act of the Fifty-third Congress it was directed
that the concurrent resolutions should be published in the Statutes at
Large, and they so appeared for the first time in volume 28, as an appen-
dix. They also appear in the Pamphlet Laws, beginning with the third
session of the Fifty-third Congress.
All of the three forms of Resolutions, joint, concurrent, and simple,
are printed in bill form on their introduction.
Joint resolutions take the same course as bills, those wliichnre adopted
by Congress and approved by the President appearing in slip form and
in the Pamphlet Laws and the Statutes at Large, and going throngh
the various numerical transformations that have been noted under the
heading " Bills." Joint resolutions must pass both Houses and go to
the President. They have all the force of law.
Concurrent resolutions must pass botli Houses, but do not require the
President's approval, and have a limited scope.
Simpler resolutions reijuire to pass l)utone House, and they apply only
to the few subjects over which one branch of Congress may exercise
unaided jurisdiction.

AMERICAN REPUBLICS BUREAU
^N'OTE. — The apparent gaps in the series of tlie Bulletins of the Bureau of Amer-
ican Republics are to be accounted for as follows :
Bulletin 50 was originall.y designed to be a new edition of Bulletin 10. Import
Duties of Cuba and I'uerto Riio ; but this was never i)ublished. Import Duties of
Guatemala, supplement, whieli i.s numbered Bulletin GS), is to stand in this vacant
place au<l be called Bulletin 56, as the number Gi) has been assigned to the Manual
de las Kiimhlicas .Vmericanns, which was published without a series number.
The follow ing numbers have also been assigned to publications which appeared
without a series number: G8, to the Kepublic of Guatemala, dated Feb. 1897; 71,
to a reprint of the tariff act of 1894, in the "slip form,' with no indication that it is
a publication of the bureau at all; 72, 73, 74, 8(t, and 83, to the annual reports of
the bureau for 1802. 1893, 1894, 1895, and 1896, respectively ; 81, to the Siiecitications
for the Edifice for the Federal Legislative Power in Mexico, of which there are two
editions with varying titles; 82, to the Official IMailing List.
Tlie title Bullelin 59 has been assigned by tlie bureau to Commercial Information,
Bulletin 41, as reprinted in the 6-volume edition of Bulletins, although there also
it bears only the title Bulletin 41. Bulletins G5, GO, and 78 are not j'et pulilished.
Bulletins 79, 85, 89, and 90 were published as "Special Bulletins" or " Handbooks"
of those numbers; but there is no separate series of Special Bulletins or Hand-
books, and these publications belong in the series of Bulletins. Bulletin 84 is the
handbook of x\.laska, which was erroneously numliered Handbook 86.
The Republic of Costa Rica, which is incorrectly listed in the Comprehensive
Index of Publications of the Uurted States Government, 1889-93, as Bulletin 68.
does not belong in this series. It is a special bulletin taking the jilace of the
Monthly Bulletin for Apr. 1894.

•Topographic sheets
XoTE. — The Geological Survey is making a topographic map of the Fnited
States. The sheets of which it is composed are projected without reference to
political divisions, and are designated I»y some prominent feature found on them.
Three scales are used, 1:62,500, 1: 125,(i00, and 1:250,000. These correspond, ap-
proximately, to 1 mile, 2 miles, and 4 miles to 1 linear inch on the map. The size,
unless otherwise given, is about 17i inches in height by llj to 16 inches in width,
exclusive of the margin, the widtli varying with the latitude. A description of the
topographic map is printed on the reverse of each sheet catalogued below, unless
otherwise stated.
About one-tifth of the area of the country, excluding Ala.ska, has been mapped,
nearly every State being represented. Massachusetts. Connecticut, Eliode I.sland,
Kew Jersey, and the District of Columbia are completely mapped. Sheets of the
regular size are sold by the Survey at 5c. each; but in lots of 100 or more copies,
whether of tlie same sheet or of different slieets, the price is 2c. each.

SALES BY THE SUPERINTENDENT OF DOCUMENTS
Section 61 of the Act providiug for the public printing and binding
and the distriliution of public documents, approved January 12, 1895,
provides as follows :
"The Superinteudeut of Documents is hereby authorized to sell at cost
any public document in his charge, the distribution of which is not
herein specifically directed, said cost to be estimated by the Public
Printer and based upon printing from stereotyped plates; but only one
copy of any document shall be sold to the same person, excepting
libraries or schools by which additional copies are desired for separate
departments thereof, and Members of Congress; and whenever any
orticer of the Government having in his charge documents published
for sale shall desire to be relieved of the same, he is hereby authorized
to turn them over to the Superintendent of Documents, who shall
receive and sell them under the i)rovisious of this section."
In accordance with the foregoing provisions, prices are fixed on the
documents named in the Catalogue. In those cases whei'e publications
;>re offered for sale Ijy the Departments issuing them, and price-lists
have been issued, those prices have been adopted here. In other cases
the prices have been computed on the basis fixed in the law as above
quoted. Excejit as otherwise stated in the body of the Catalogue, these
computed prices call for paper or cloth covers, and a corresponding
increase will be made for books bound in leather or half leather. The
cost of paper covers is about Ic. per volume; of cloth cases, from 10c.
to 50c. per volume; of full sheep binding, from 75c. to $1.15 per volume
for octavos and $1.50 for c|uartos; of half russia or half turkey, $1.00
per Aoluine.
WHERE DOCUMENTS ARE OBTAINABLE
It is the apiiarent intention of the new printing law (approved Jan-
uary 12, 1895J that the sales of public documents shall ultimately be
concentrated mainly if not wholly in the office of the Superintendent
of Documents. The provisions that 500 copies of each of the various
departmental publications of every kind, as well as of the numbered
Congressional documents, shall be sent to him (sec. 58) ; that all the
accumulated documents in the Departments not needed for official use
be sent to him now and annually (sec. (37) ; that any public officer hav-
ing documents for sale may turn them over to him (sec. 61) ; — all point
to such an intention.. But thus far the law h.is been only partially
operative. No officer except the Public Printer has sufficiently desired,
to be relieved of the sale of books to induce him to turn them over to
this office. The collection of the accumulations from the Departments
is not yet completed. The decision that 500 additional departmental
publications shall be printed for this office has not been made to cover
all such publications. Conseijueutly many of the current documents
noted in the Mouthly Catalogue can not be supplied, while of the older
documents, of which many thousands are here on sale, no catalogue can
be furnished. Thus the selling function of the office of the Superin-
tendent of Documents is comparatively uudeveloiieu. But its develop-
ment is progressing steadily, if not rapidly.
The arrangements for disposing of public documents which existed
before the passage of the new law are still in operation. Thej- are
extremely varied, and before the advent of the Monthly Catalogue no
3
4 November, 1897
attempt had been made to collect them aud publish a comprehensive
statement for the benefit of general buyers. It is believed that the fol-
lowing statement describes most of their important features. It is
made, however, subject to correction as further information may be
received.
COXGKESSIONAL RKCORD
The Congressional Record, containing the proceedings and debates of
Congress, is issued daily when Congress is in session, and indexes thereto
are published semimonthly. It is sold by the Public Printer on the fol-
lowing terms: Single copy, 3c. if not more than 24 pp., and Ic. more for
each additional 8 pp. ; per month. $l..oO ; per short session, $4.00 ; per long-
session, $<S.OO. Subscriptions are payable in advance.
The bound volumes of the Record are sold also by the Superintendent
of Documents, the price averaging about $1.40 per part. The set con-
taining the proceedings of the 1st session of the 54th Congress is in 8
parts and costs $11.50. That for the 2d session of the same Congress is
in 4 parts and costs $5.60. That for the 1st session of the 55th Congress
is also in 4 jiarts, costing $5.60.
COURT REPORTS
The volumes of Decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States,
perhaps the most important uf all public documents, have never been
published by the Government. They are published by the official
reporter of the Court, through a private publishing house. There is
a statutory provision that a number of copies, amounting to 300 in
all. shall be furnished to various Departments of the Government free
of cost, and that the price to the public shall not exceed $2.00 per
volume. The cases in suits in which the United States are not plaintiff
in error or appellant are also printed by contract at a private printing
house. Those documents of the Suxireme Court which are printed at the
Government Printing Office are but a small part of the whole. They are
printed in very limited editions for the use of the Court aud attorneys,
aud no provision is made for their distribution or sale. By far the greater
part of the publications used in the proceedings of the Court are printed
by private litigants at their own cost. Oecasioually, when a litigant
pleads poverty, the Court makes an order that his printing shall be done
at the Governnient Printing Office at public expense.
The documents of the Court of Claims are printed at the Government
Printing Office, but only for the use of the Court, and in very limited
editions. They are not accessible to the public except by consent of the
attorneys in interest. The Cour^ makes an annual report to Congress,
■which is a public document, and its decisions are printed in annual vol-
umes, of which only a limited edition, for official use. is issued by the
Court. Private ])ublishers, however, may, and usually do. order from
the Public Printer sei)arate editions, which they offer for sale.
COXGRESSIONAL QUOTAS
Senators and Representatives in Congress have allotments, often very
limited in number, of nearly all the more important Government publi-
cations, w hich are distributed on their order from the Senate and House
folding and document rooms.
STATE DEPARTMENT
The state Department distributes the Consular Reports and other
departmental publications gratuitously, but sells the Revised Statutes,
Statutes at Large, and pamphlet laws. Address Disbursing Clerk, State
Department. If drafts are sent, make them payable to his order.
The American Republics Bureau sells its own monthly bulletins,
handbooks, etc., at prices usually ranging from 5c. to 30c. Address the
Director of the Bureau.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Those publications of the Department of Agriculture -which are for
sale, except those of the Weather Bureau, will hereafter be supplied by
the Superintendent of Documents, Union Building, Washington, D. C.
The Departuient has no list of addresses to which all its publications
are sent. It issues a monthly list of publications, which is mailed to all
applicants, enabling them to select such reports and bulletins as interest
them. For the publications of the Weather Bureau application should
be made to the Chief of that Bureau. The serial publications of tlie
Department are not iutended for general distribution. Reijuests for
them are referred to the divisions from which they are issued, and
instructions are then sent as to how the publications may bo regularly
secured.
SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION
In its latest published catalogue and price-list the Smithsonian Institu-
tion publishes this note: "The publications of the Smithsonian Insti-
tution consist of Contributions to Knowledge, Miscellaneous Collections,
and annual reports. No sets of these are for sale, and most of the vol-
umes are out of print. The edition of volumes of Contributions and
Collections is limited, and is distributed to designated public libraries
and to learned institutions in this country and abroad. A small edition
of some of the papers in the above publications is printed for sale or
exchange. For reports of the Institution or of the National Museum
application should be made to Members of Congress." Separates from
the reports of the Institution are for exchange only. The annual report
is the only Smithsonian publication that is a public document. All the
others are paid for from the private funds of the Institution.
The annual reports of the Bureau of Ethnology (with accompanying-
papers) are distributed by Members of Congress and the Director of the
Bureau ; but the editions are not large enough to enable them to accede
to all requests. Of the reports without accompanying- papers, and of
the separate papers, very few copies are printed.
The ijublications of the National Museum comprise bulletins, annual
reports, and an annual volume of Proceedings. The editions of these
are too limited to admit of general distributi(m. The separates from the
Proceedings and from the reports may be obtained on application to the
Museum, until the supply is exhausted.
VARIOUS BUREAUS
The publications of the Department of Labor and of the Fish Commis-
sion are distributed gratuitously through the heads of those Bureaus and
through Members of Congress.
The Interstate Commerce Commission sends its repoi'ts free to all
applicants.

Topographic sheets
XoTE.— The Geological Survey is making a topographic map of the ITnited
States. The sheets of which it is composed are projected without reference to
political divisions, and are designated by some ijromiuent feature found on them.
Three scales are used, 1: 62,500, 1: 125,U0U. and l:25U,0OU. These correspond, ap-
proximately, to 1 mile, 2 miles, and 4 miles to 1 linear inch on the map. The size,
unless otlie'rwise given, is about 17J inches in height by Hi to 16 inches in width,
exclusive of the margin, the widtli varying with the latitude. A description of the
topographic map is printed on the reverse of each sheet catalogued below, unless
otherwise stated.
About one-tilth of the area of the country has been mapped, nearly every State
being represented. Mas.-^achusetts, (Jonnecticut, Ehode Island. Xew Jersey, and
the District of Columbia are completely mapped. Sheets of the regular size are
sold by the Survey at 5c each; but in lots of 100 or more copies, whether of the
same sheet or of difl'erent slieets, the price is 2c. each.

With Reference to the Distribution of Documents
EXCHANGES
Exchanges will be made of surplus miscellaueous documents for such
other documents and books as may be required when the same can be
done to the advantage of the public service.
FEEE TO INDIVIDUALS
The Superintendent of Documents is not authorized to supply docu-
ments free to individuals, except pul)lications specifically authorized by
Congress to be distributed to persons designated by Senators, Eepresent-
atives, or Delegates. The only documents of that character now being
distributed are, the compilation entitled "Messages and Papers of the
Presidents," 1787 to 1897, bv Richardson, and the Oflticial Register, or
" Blue Book."
FREE TO LIBRARIES
He is directed to distribute current publications to three classes of
libraries, to be designated to him by Senators, Representatives, and
Delegates in Congress, as follows :
To class 1 —Designated depositories; — the libraries of the eight Ex-
ecutive Departments, the Military Academy at West Point, the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, State and Territorial libraries, also public libra-
ries containing not less than 1,000 volumes other than Government pub-
lications, one to be named by each Senator. Representative, or Delegate
in Congress. Libraries of this class receive one copy of each of the
departmental publications and of the numl )ered Congressional documents.
These include everything sent to the other two classes.
To class 2. — Two public libraries designated by each Senator, Rep-
resentative, and Delegate in Congress receive the monographs and bul-
letins of the Geological Survey.
To class 3. — One library designated by each Senator. Representative,
and Delegate receives, as nearly as practicable, an equal share of "Re-
mainders" after the distribution provided for liy section 68 of the act
providing for the public i^rinting and binding and di8tril)ution of
public documents, api^roved January 12, 1895. These remainders vary in
numl)er from ten to three hundred, but in no case is there a sufficient
number of any particular document to supply one library in each Con-
gressional district.
A vast number of volumes of miscellaueous documents, pamphlets,
etc., have been accumulated, which are also distributed to public,
school, and college libraries, at the request of Senators, Representa-
tives, and Delegates in Congress, or upon the rec^uest of the libraries,
to enable them to make up complete sets, etc.
SALES
The Superintendent of Documents is authorized to sell at cost any
public document in his charge, the distribution of which is not other-
wise iirovided for. Only one copy is permitted to lie sold to the same
person, excepting libraries or schools, and Members of Congress.

Topographic sheets
Note. — The Geological Survey is making a topographic map of the United
States. The sheets of which it is composed are projected without reference to
political divisions, and are designated by some prominent feature found on them.
Three scales are used, 1:62,500, 1 : 125,000, and 1:250,000. These correspond, ap-
proximately, to 1 mile. 2 miles, and 4 miles to 1 linear Inch on the map. The size,
unless otherwise given, is about 17i inches in height by llj to 16 inches in width,
exclusive of the margin, the width varying with the latitude. A description of tlie
topo^rapliic map is printed on the reverse of each sheet catalogued below, unless
otherwise stated.
About one-tifth of the area of the country has been mapped, nearly every Stat*
being represented. Mas.sachu.setts, Connecticut. Rliode Island. New Jersey, and
the District of Columbia are completely mapped. Sheets of the regular size are
sold by the Survey at 5c. each; but in lots of 100 or more copies, whether of the
same sheet or of diflerent sheets, the price is 2c. each.
