Note.— These maps, projected without reference to political divisions, are des- ignated by some prominent feature found on them. Three scales are used, 1 : 62500. 1 : 125000, and 1 : 250000. 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 20 by 16 inches. They are issued as working editions for the use of geologists of the United States Geological Survey, and are not published for general distribution or for sale. About 900 sheets have been produced since 1883, covering, more or less, every State and Territory except Alaska. Massachusetts, Khode Island, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia are completely mapped. GOVERNMENT HOSPITAL FOR THE INSANE Report, 1895. 77 pp. 12 pi.

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 Grovernmenl publications shall 'be prepared 48 "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 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 the Senators, Representa- tives, and Delegates of the Fifty-fourth Congress, to the designated depository libraries, to those Government Departments, bureaus, and offices that 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. Ouly those unofficial citizeus 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 to send all the numbers except the first (Jan., 1895) free of charge to those who ask for them. It is probable, however, that it will soon be found necessary to adopt some more restrictive rule thau that of "first come, first served," which has thus far been followed. More than 800 requests for the regular receipt of the Catalogue have been received from every part of this country and from several foreign countries, and every mail brings additional requests. 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 persou, 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 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 publications are offered for sale by the 7)epartments 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. 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 cost of paper covers is about lc. per volume; of cloth cases, from 10c. to 30c. per volume; of full sheep binding, from 75c. to $1.15 per volume for octavos and $1.50 for ouartos: 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 has been only partially 49 operative. No public officer has sufficiently desired to be relieved <>t' the sale of books to induce him to turn them over t<> this office. The collection of the accumulations from the Departments is not yet com- pleted. The decision that 500 additional departmental publications shall be printed for this office has but just been made. 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 here on sale, no catalogue cau be furnished. Thus the selling func- tion of the office of the Superintendent of Documents is comparatively undeveloped. But its development is progressing steadily, if not rapidly, and in the fullness of time all the results contemplated in the passage of the law by which this office was created may be realized. The arrangements for disposing of public documents which existed be- fore the passage of the new law are still in operation. They arc 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 following statement describes most of their important features. It is made, how- ever, subject to correction as further information may be received. 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 volume. The cases in suits in which the United States are not plain- tiff in error or appellant are also printed by contract at a private print- ing house Only those documents of the Supreme Court which are printed at the Government Printing Office are noted in this Catalogue, and they 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. Occasionally, when a litigant pleads poverty. the Court makes an order that his printing shall be done at the Govern- ment 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 Con- gress, which is a public document, and its findings are printed in annual volumes, 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. C< >NGRESSI< ixa i. <^r< HAS Senators and Representatives in Congress have allotments, varying in number, of nearly all kinds of Government publications, which are dis- tributed on their order from the Senate and House folding and document moms. Documents can often be obtained more promptly and cheaply by application to Members of Congress than to the Departments. DEPARTMENT OV STATK The Department of State distributes the Consular Reports and othei departmental publications gratuitously, but sells the Revised Statutes. Statutes at Large, and pamphlet laws Address Disbursing Clerk. De- partment of State. If drafts are sent, make them payable to his order. 2124— tfo. 13 4 50 The Bureau of the American Republics sells its own monthly bul- letins, handbooks, etc., at from 10c. to 50c. Address the Director of the Bureau. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY Tlie weekly Catalogue of Copyrights, prepared by the Librarian of Congress, is published by the Department of the Treasury, but is not sold by that Department, nor by the Librarian. Those desiring it must subscribe at the office of the collector of customs for the district in which they live. The price is $5.00 per year. The Charts, Coast Pilots, and Tide-tables of the Coast and Geodetic Survey are sold at the office of the Survey, in Washington, and also by one or more sales agents in each of the important American seaports. The monthly Notice to Mariners may be had free at these agencies, at all United 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 the country 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 Marine-Hospital Service, Treasury Department. DEPARTMENT UK WAR The volumes of the Records of the War of the Rebellion are sold by the Department of War at 50c. to 85c. per volume. Address Maj. George \Y. Davis, War Records Office. Department of War. POST-OFKICE DEPARTMENT The Post-Office Department sells the post-route maps, of which new editions are issued four times a year, corrected to the 1st day of March, June, September, and December. Orders should be addressed to the Disbursing Clerk, Post-Office Department, aud money orders should be made payable to him. The Official Postal Guide is sold by (Jeorge F. Lasher, the contractor for the printing, No. 147 Tenth street, Philadelphia. DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY The Department of the Navy will sell the surplus copies of the Official Records of the Uuiou and Confederate Navies after the distribution ordered by law has been made. No copies are now available from this source, and none may be for years to come. Two volumes have thus far been published. 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 of the Department of the Navy are sold by the Office in Washington, and also by agents at the principal American and foreign seaports and American lake ports. Copies of the weekly Notice to Mariners, weekly Hydro- graphic Bulletin, and monthly Notice to Mariners for the Great Lakes are supplied free on application at the Hydrographic Office in Washing- ton and at the branch offices in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Balti- more, Norfolk, Savannah, New Orleans, San Francisco, Portland (Oreg.), Port Townsend, Chicago, and Cleveland. The same offices also supply the Light List and the Beacon and Buoy List issued by the Light-House Board! It should be noted that there 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. 51 Thf "American Ephenieris and Nautical Almanac,'' the "Nautical Almanac" extracted from this publication, and other astronomical publi- cations of the Nautical Almanac I M'tice, 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 (Oreg.), Baltimore. Sao Francisco, London, Paris, and Berlin. The price of the Ephemeris is $1.00, and it is issued three years in ad- vance. The Nautical Almanac is sold for half this price by the agents. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR The Decisions of the Department of the Interior in land cases and in pension cases are issued in slips and signatures at 10c. each, and in bound volumes at prices ranging from $1.05 to $1.45 per volume. Sub- scribers may deposit $1.00, either in the Department or in the Pension Office or the General Land Office, and receive the contents of a volume of the Decisions in separate parts as they appear. Of the Land Deci- sions usually two volumes are issued yearly, while the Pension-Decision volumes appear at longer intervals, sometimes more than two years apart. Orders for the publications of the Tenth and Eleventh Censuses | 1880 and 1890) should be sent to the chief, clerk of the Department of the Interior, indorsed "Document Division." The various bureaus of the Department of the Interior have extensive and important lists of publications, which may be ordered from the Department or directly from the bureaus. These include the issues of the Pension, Patent, and Land offices, the Geological Survey, and the Bureau of Education. The publications of the United States Geological Survey include annual reports, which are intended for free distribution, and mono- graphs, bulletins, and folios of the Geologic Atlas of the United States, which cost from 5c. to $11.00 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 first 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 the Senators, Representa- tives, and Delegates of the Fifty-fourth Congress, to the designated depository libraries, to those Government Departments, bureaus, and offices that 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 possible to send all the numbers except the first (Jan. 1895) free of charge to those who ask for them. It is probable, however, that it will soon be found necessary to adopt some more restrictive rule than that of "first come, first served," which has thus far been followed. More than 900 requests for the regular receipt of the Catalogue have been received from every part of this country and from several foreign countries, and every mail brings additional requests. 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 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 receive and sell them under the provisions of this section." 57 In accordance with the foregoing provisions, prices are fixed on the documents named in 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 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 cost of paper covers is about lc. per volume; of cloth cases, from 10c. to 30c. 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 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 public officer 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 com- pleted. The decision whether 500 additional departmental publications shall be printed for this office or 500 shall be deducted from the depart- mental editions has only recently been made. Consequently many of the current documents noted in the Monthly Catalogue can not be supplied by this office, while of the older documents, of which many thousands are here on sale, no catalogue can be furnished. Thus the selling func- tion of the office of the Superintendent of Documents is comparatively undeveloped. But its development is progressing steadily, if not rapidly, and in the fullness of time all the results contemplated in the passage of the law by which this office was created may be realized. The arrangements for disposing of public documents which existed be- fore the passage of the new law are still in operation. They are extremely varied, but it is believed that all their important features are men- tioned somewhere in this catalogue. CONGRESSIONAL QUOTAS Senators and Representatives in Congress have allotments, varying in number, of nearly all kinds of Government publications, which are dis- tributed on their order from the Senate and House folding and document rooms. Documents can often be obtained more promptly and cheaply by application to Members of Congress than to the Departments. 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. The edition of volumes of Contributions and Collections is limited, and is distributed to desig- nated 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. Those at present available are enumer- ated in the accompanying list. For reports of the Institution or of the National Museum application should be made to Members of Congress. For reports, etc., of the Bureau of Ethnology application should be 58 made to Members of Congress or to the Director of the Bureau." The " accompanying list " contains 479 titles, of which 222 are priced at from 2c. to $7.50 each. The annual reportis the only Smithsonian publication that is a public document. All the others are paid for from the private funds of the Institution. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE The Government Printing Office sells the Monthly Statements of Finance, Commerce, and Immigration, compiled by the Bureau of Sta- tistics of the Department of the Treasury; the Congressional Record, from the beginning of the Fiftieth Congress to date; the set of State Constitutions and Colonial Charters ; Poore's Descriptive Catalogue of Government Publications; Reports of the Fish Commission, 1879-1887; the Reports on the Paris Exposition ; the Catalogue of the Library of the Surgeon-General's Office; the Polaris Arctic Expedition; Hall's Arctic Expedition; Treaties and Conventions between the United States and other Powers, 1776-1887; Second and Third Annual Reports of the Geological Survey; Fishing Industries of the United States, live vol- umes; Report of Silver Commission, 1876; International Monetary Con- ference, 1881 ; and United States Infantry and Cavalry Drill Regula- tions. HOW TO REMIT Remittances to the Public Printer and the Superintendent of Docu- ments should be made always by postal money order. The Geological Survey and the 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 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 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 to the purchaser free of postage.
