[S] p. il. 4" t GS 13— 5S5/3 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 siome prominent town or natural feature found on them. Three scales are ordinarily 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, covering, respectively, average areas of 230, 920, and 3.700 square miles. For some areas of particular im- portance special large-scale maps are published. The usual size, exclusive of the margin is about 17.5 inches in height by 11.5 to 16 inches in width, the latter varying with the latitude. A description of the topographic map is printed on the reverse of each sheet. Nearly two-fifths of the area of the country, excluding outlying possessions, has been mapped, every State being represented. Massachusetts. Connecticut, Rhode Island. New Jersey, and the District of Columbia are completel.v mapped. Sheets of the regular size are sold by the Surve.v at 10c. each : but in lots of 50 or more copies, whether of the same shei't or of different sheets, the price is 6c. each. In no case can orders be filled at the wholesale rate unless the sum remitted solelv for topographic maps amounts to at least $3.00. California.

This rate applies on an order of either maps or folios alone or for maps and folios together, but does not apply to the folios sold at 5c. each on account of damage by fire.

The papers included in this list are dis- tributed gratis, except as otherwise indicated. Publications should be ordered by the publication number, and arranged in sequence. The serial publications of the Smith- sonian Institution are as follows : 1, Smithsonian contributions to knowledge ; 2, Smith- sonian miscellaneous collections ; 3, Smithsonian reports. No sets of these are for sale or distribution, as most of the volumes are out of print. The Contributions to knowledge and Miscellaneous collections are distributed without charge only to public libraries, learned societies, institutions, and sjiecialists in this country and abroad. The Smith- sonian reports are regularly distril>uted by the Institution to libraries throughout the world, and only a limited number of the volumes remain to supply other demands. No general mailing-list of individuals is maintained. The reports can be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. Remit- tances for publications not distributed gratuitously should be made payable to the ' Smithsonian Institution.' Applications from libraries should be accompanied by a statement of the number of volumes which they contain and the date of their establish- ment, and should have the endorsement of a Member of Congress." The annual reports are the only Smithsonian publications that are regularly issued as public documents. All the others are paid for from the private funds of the Institution, but as they are usually regarded as public documents and have free transmission by mail they are listed in the Monthly catalogue. 124, September, 1915 Atmospheric radiation.
