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 bvsome prominent town or natural feature found on them. Three scales are used, 1:62,500,1:125,000, 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 17.5 inches in height by 11.5 to 16 inches in width, exclusive of the margin, the width vary- ing with "the latitude. A description of the topographic map is printed on the reverse of each sheet catalogued below. About three-tenths 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 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 price is 3c each. In no case can orders be filled at the wholesale rate unless the sum remitted solely for topographic maps amounts to at least $3.00.

A wholesale rate has been established for topographic and geologic folios, when- ever the sum transmitted solely for folios at the wholesale price amounts to at least $5.10; that is, a discount of 40 per cent will be given whenever 34 or more folios that sell singly for 25c, or their equivalent in higher priced folios, are ordered at one time.

GS 3-360/3 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 town or natural feature found on them. Three scales are used, 1:62,500, 1:125,000, 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 17.5 inches in height by 11.5 to 16 inches in width, exclusive of the margin, the width vary- ing with the latitude. A description of the topographic map is printed on the reverse of each sheet catalogued below. About three-tenths 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 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 price is 3c each. In no case can orders be filled at the wholesale rate unless the sum remitted solely for topographic maps amounts to at least $3.00. S& February, 1906 Geological Survey — Continued.

A wholesale rate has been established for topographic and geologic folios, when- ever the sum transmitted solely for folios at the wholesale price amounts to at least $5.10; that is, a discount of 40 per cent will be given whenever 34 or more folios that sell singly for 25c, or their equivalent in higher priced folios, are ordered at one time.

(H. doc. 490 [pt. 3].) GS 6-400/4 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 bvsome prominent town or natural feature found on them. Three scales are used, 1:62,500, 1:125,000, 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 17.5 inches in height by 11.5 to 16 inches in width, exclusive of the margin, the width vary- ing with the latitude. A description of the topographic map is printed on the reverse of each sheet catalogued below. About three-tenths 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 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 price is 3c each. In no case can orders be filled at the wholesale rate unless the sum remitted solely for topographic maps amounts to at least 33.00.

A wholesale rate has been established for topographic and geologic folios, when- ever the sum transmitted solely for folios at the wholesale price amounts to at least §5.10; that is, a discount of 40 per cent will be given whenever 34 or more folios that sell singly for 25c, or their equivalent in higher priced folios, are ordered at one time.

(H. doc. 491. ) GS 6-764/4 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 town or natural feature found on them. Three scales are used, 1: 62,500, 1: 125,000, 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 17.5 inches in height by 11.5 to 16 inches in width, exclusive of the margin, the width vary- ing with the latitude. A description of the topographic map is printed on the reverse of each sheet catalogued below. About three-tenths 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 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 price is 3c each. In no case can orders be filled at the wholesale rate unless the sum remitted solely for topographic maps amounts to at least 83.00. 200 May, 1906 Geological Survey — Continued.
