Common abbreviations for names of States and months are also used. Explanation Words and figures inclosed in brackets [] are given for information, but do not appear on the title-pages of the publications catalogued. When size is not given octavo is to be understood. Size of maps is measured from outer edge of border, excluding margin. The dates, including day, month, and year, given with Senate and House documents and reports are the dates on which they were ordered to be printed. Usually the printing promptly follows the ordering, but various causes sometimes make delays. When Congress and session are not given with the numbers of Senate and House documents and reports, 66th Congress, 1st session, is to be understood. SALES OF GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS The Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C., is authorized to sell at cost of paper and printing any United States public document in his charge the distribution of which is not otherwise provided for. Publications can not be supplied free to individuals nor forwarded in advance of payment. Publications entered in this catalogue that are for sale by the Superintendent of Documents are indicated by a star (*) preceding the price. A dagger (†) indicates that application should be made to the Department, Bureau, or Division issuing the document. A double dagger (‡) indicates that the document is not obtainable. Whenever additional information concerning the method of procuring a document seems necessary, it will be found under the name of the Bureau by which it was published. The Senate and House documents and reports are issued in limited editions, and, unless otherwise indicated, may be obtained only through Members of Congress. In ordering a publication from the Superintendent of Documents, give (if known) the name of the publishing Department, Bureau, or Division, and the title of the publication. If the publication is numbered, give the number also. Every such particular assists in quick identification. Do not order by the Library of Congress card number.
