TopograpMc 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 tliem. 
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. Tlie size, 
unless otheVwise given, is about 17i inches in height by Hi to 16 inches in width, 
exclusive of tlie margin, tlio width varj-ing with the latitude. A description of the 
topographic map is printed on the reverse of each slieet catalogued below. 

About one-tifth of the area of the country has been mapped, nearly every State 
being represented. Massachusetts, Connecticut, llliode 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 slieet or of different sheets, the ])rice is 2c each.

General Information 

With Reference to the Distribution of Documents 

EXCHANGES 

Excliaiiges will be made of surplus miscellaneous documents for such 
other documents and books as may be required ^vheu the same can be 
done to the advantage of the public serAice. 

FREE TO INDIVIDUALS 

The Superintendent of Documents is not anthorized to supply docu- 
ments free to individuals, except publications specifically authorized by 
Congress to be distributed to persons designated by Senators, Represent- 
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,'' by Richardson, and the Official Register, or 
'■Blue Book." 

FREE TO LIBRARIES 

He is directed to distril)ute 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; — one to be named by each Sen- 
ator, Representative, or Delegate in Congress. Libraries of this class 
receive one copy of each of the departmental publications and of the 
numbered Congressional documents. These include everything sent to 
the other two classes. 

To class 2. — Geological libraries; — two to be named by each Senator, 
Representative, and Delegate in Congress under the provisions of sec. 
79 of the printing law, 28 Stat, at Large, 601. These libraries receive the 
mouograplis and bulletins of the Geological Survey. 

To class .3. — Remainder libraries; — public and school libraries desig- 
nated by Senators, Representatives, and Delegates in Congress to receive 
fractional remainders of Congressional quotas, under the provisions of 
sec. 68 of the printing law, above referred to. Such libraries do not 
receive complete sets of public documents, because "remainders" vary 
from a dozen to four hundred copies, never equaling the number of this 
class of depositories. 

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 provided for. Only one copy is permitted to be sold to the same 
person, excepting libraries or schools, and Members of Congress. 

PRICES 

Documents for sale by this office will be indicated by a (*) following 
the price named. The absence of a (*) indicates that application should 
be made to the Department, bureau, or division issuing the document. 

HOW TO REMIT 

Remittances may be made to the Superintendent of Documents by 
postal money order, express money order, draft, or check. In case of 
remittance by check the documents ordered will not be sent until after 

79 



80 February, 1898 

the che( k lias been collected. Any charge for collection will be deducted 
from th ! face of the check and documents sent for the remainder. Stamps 
or foreijn currency will not he accepted in ani/ case. 

Remittances to the Public Printer should be made by postal money 
order, express money order, or draft on New York. Remittances to the 
Geolojijical Survey should be made by money order. The War Records 
Office will receive currency as well as postal money 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. 

All the Government offices which have books, pam])hlets, maps, or 
charts for sale issue price-lists, which will be sent free to all appli< ants. 
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 post.ige to all points 
in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. To other countries regular 
rates of postage are charged, and remittances must be made to include 
such postage. 

A X£W FEATURE 

A new, and it is hoped a helpful, feature has been added to the 
Monthly Catalogue, beginning with the December, 1897, issue — an index. 

WHERE DOCUMENTS MAY BE OBTAINED 

General directions as to where documents may be j^rocured are given 
in the body of the catalogue.

Topographic sheets 

Note. — The Geological Survey is making a topographic map of the United 
States. The sheets of which it is composed arc projected without reference to 
political divisions, and are designated by some prominent feature found on them. 
Three scales are used, 1:6J,500, 1 : 125.U0O. and 1:250,000. These correspond, ap- 
proximately, to I mile. 2 miles, and 4 miles to 1 linear Inch on the maj). The size, 
unless otherwise given, is about I'k inches in height by Hi To 16 inches in width, 
exclusive of the luargin, the width varying with the latitude-. A desi riptiou of the 
topographic map is priute<l on the reverse of each sheet cat.alogued below. 

About one-tifth of the area of the country has been mapjied, nearly every State 
being represented. Massachusetts. Connecticut. Rhode 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 lOU or more copies, whether of the 
same sheet or of diflerent sheets, the price is 2c each.

General Information 

With Reference to the Distribution of Documents 

EXCHANGES 

Excluingcs will l»e mado of surplus miscellaneous documents for such 
other documents and books as may be required when the same can be 
done to the advautage of the public service. 

FREE 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, Kepreseut- 
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," by Eichardsou. and the Official Register, or 
"Blue Book." 

FREE TO LIBRARIES 

He is directed to distribute current imblications to three classes of 
liljraries, to be designated to him by Senators, Representatives, and 
Delegates in Congress, as follows: 

To class 1. — Designated depositories; — one to be named by each Sen- 
ator, Rejiresentative, or Delegate in Congress. Libraries of this class 
receive one copy of each of the departmental publications and of the 
numbered Congressional documents. These include everything sent to 
the other two classes. 

To class 2. — Geological liljraries; — two to be named by each Senator, 
Representative, and Delegate in Congress under the provisions of sec. 
79 of the printing law, 28 Stat, at Large, 601. These libraries receive the 
monographs and bulletins of the Geological Survey. 

To class 3. — Remainder libraiies;— public and school libraries desig- 
nated by Senators, Representatives, and Delegates in Congress to receive 
fractional remainders of Congressional quotas, under the provisions of 
sec. 68 of the printing law, above referred to. Such libraries do not 
receive complete sets of public documents, because "remainders" vary 
from a dozen to four hundred copies, never equaling the number of this 
class of dei)08itories. 

SALES 

The Superintendent of Documents is authorized to sell at cost any 
public documelit in his charge the distribution of which is not other- 
wise provided for. Only one copy is permitted to be sold to the same 
jierson, exceiiting libraries or schools, and Members of Congress. 

PRICES 

Documents for sale by this office will be indicated by a (') following 
the price named. The absence of a (*) indicates that application should 
he made to the Department, bureau, or division issuing the document.
