The following List (Part I) and Catalogue (Part II) was compiled in response to
demands for information in regard to the publications of the United States Coast and
Geodetic Survey, and relates entirely to these publications:
Previous to July i, 1878, this Bureau was called the United States Coast Survey,
which explains the apparent discrepancy in the title of the publications issued before
and since that date.
The List is arranged in chronological order and the Catalogue alphabetically by
authors, subjects, and places, with numerous cross references. All Of the subject
headings used in this Catalogue are given in systematic order at the beginning of
the Catalogue.
The publications in the List and Catalogue marked ' ' Exhausted ' ' are no longer
available for distribution. All others can be obtained, free of charge, upon application
to the Superintendent United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, Washington, D. C.,
except the Coast Pilots and Tide Tables, which are sold at the cost of paper and
printing.
Indexes and catalogues of the Survey's publications have previously been issued
under the following titles:

PART I. LIST.
ANNUAL REPORTS.
The Annual Report of the Superintendent of the United States Coast and Geodetic
Survey, fully illustrated with maps and diagrams, is made under law to Congress at
each session, and shows in detail the persons employed, the work accomplished, and
the expenditures under the annual appropriations.
Originally appearing as a document in the Congressional series only, it has also
been published in a separate Survey edition since 1851. For 1851 separate volumes
were issued for the text and for the sketches. From 1891 to 1894, inclusive, the
report proper and the appendices were printed in separate volumes as Parts I and II.
With these exceptions the report has been issued annually since 1851 in one quarto
volume.
The appendices on scientific and professional subjects include almost all of the
material of that character published by the Survey, whether issued in some other series
or not. The appendices have also been printed apart from the reports in "separate"
form when the demand for them has warranted such publication.
In the earlier reports of the Coast Survey statements of progress made in office
operations will generally be found following the abstracts of reports of field work,
attention also being called to office work of special interest or importance in the
introductory portions of the reports. This will be found to apply to the annual reports
from 1844 to 1855, inclusive.
In the reports from 1856 to 1864, inclusive, in addition to the notices of office
operations in the body of each report, there are appendices which contain reports from
the chiefs of the divisions of the office, or, in some cases, the complete reports of the
assistant in charge of the office and of the chiefs of divisions.
The publication of the annual reports of the assistant in charge of the office and
of the chiefs of the office divisions was discontinued during the years 1865 to 1880,
inclusive, and the references to office operations were made in the same manner as those
in the annual reports of the Survey from 1844 to 1855, inclusive, these references being
supplemented by appendices giving lists of drawings or engravings of charts in progress
or completed and by appendices detailing the field and office work relating to tides.
In the annual report for 1881 the reports made by the chiefs of the computing,
tidal, drawing, engraving, and hydrographic divisions of the office were printed in full;
in the report for 1882 these reports were published as Appendix No. 6; in the annual
reports of the Survey from 1883 to 1889, inclusive, the annual reports of the assistant
in charge of office and topography and of the hydrographic inspector appear as
Appendices Nos. 4 and 5; in the annual report for 1890 Appendix No. 4 contains the
annual report of the assistant in charge of the office, Appendix No. 5 the annual report
of the hydrographic inspector, Appendix No. 6 the annual report of the disbursing
agent, and Appendix No. 7 the annual report of the assistant in charge of the office of
weights and measures.
It has not been deemed advisable to add to the length of this L,ist by including these
office reports, embodying as they do much matter relating to routine operations and
details of value chiefly for official reference.

fleport 1807. COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY PUBLICATIONS.
The office of standard weights ana measures was organized under the Superin-
tendent of the Coast Survey in 1831, and its reports have been issued regularly since
1837 as a part of his official report. They are therefore contained in the following list
of reports.
Many individual scientific papers on standards based on the work of this office were
printed as appendices in the report of the Superintendent of the Survey. All of them
will be found grouped under the subject headings "Standards" and "Weights and
measure office" in the Catalogue (Part II).
On July i, 1901, the act of Congress approved March 3, 1901, creating the National
Bureau of Standards, became fully operative and on that date it became an independent
Bureau.

Footnote to first page. This article originally appeared in the Coast survey Report for 1855, appendix 48,
and was continued in reports of 1856, 1858, and 1859, appendix 24, pp. 296-305. In the second edition, in
Coast survey Report for 1874, appendix 8, pp. 72-108, the investigation appears greatly extended; the
substitution of a sine for a cosine function was made, and the epoch was changed from 1830 to 1850;
also some use was made of Cauchy's method of interpolation for the establishment of some second
periodic terms. The third edition, issued in June, 1879, appeared in pamphlet form, and is not con-
tained in any annual Report of the Coast and geodetic survey. The geographical range of the investi-
gation was much enlarged, and the paper was illustrated by two plates. The next or fourth edition
was brought out in June, iSSi, and forms appendix 9, Coast and geodetic survey Report for 1879; it was
illustrated with three plates. In the fifth edition, of November, 1882, appe'ndix 12, Report for 1882, there
were discussed 837 declinations, observed at 82 stations, situated in the United States and a few in
Europe, South America, Asia, and Polynesia, the latter for the purpose of extending our knowledge of
magnetic changes beyond our immediate seacoast. The sixth edition forms appendix 12, annual Report
for 1886; it is distinguished by a more systematic arrangement of its contents and by a more liberal
introduction of observations made at sea near our coasts; besides the number of stations to which the
record and discussion extends is increased to 94, with an available material of 1,071 observed declina-
tions. In the seventh edition the stations are increased to 102 and the number of declinations to 1,245.
The Report for 1895, appendix i, contains the eighth edition.

BULLETINS.
Bulletins are issued by the Survey from time to time as material accumulates.
They are intended to give early announcement of work accomplished or information
of importance obtained, and in many cases anticipate the usual means of publication
afforded by the Annual Reports. They are indexed when their number demands it,
thus augmenting their value for preservation and reference.

SEPARATKLY ISSUKD PUBLICATIONS.
For various reasons papers have been published on a variety of professional,
scientific, or historical subjects in separate form and without serial number. They are
here listed from the beginning, in the order of their issue. Only a few of these have
also been printed in the Annual Reports. They are special publications without a
serial number.
These publications vary greatly in sizes and style of printing, the form being
determined largely by the purpose they are intended to serve. Some of them, such as
tables, etc., are printed on cardboard for use in the field; and others, such as star
catalogues, larger in size, are printed and substantially bound with reference to
similar use.

COAST PILOTS.
Coast Pilots were first begun as a series of publications in 1869. Previously to
that coast pilot matters appeared from time to time in appendices to the annual reports.
For a list of these appendices, see Coast Pilot in the catalogue.
The latest editions of the Coast Pilots are on sale at all of the chart agencies of the
Survey, located in the principal cities on the coast. The Coast Pilots are now published
under the following titles: United States Coast Pilot Atlantic coast Parts I-II to
VIII, extending from Maine to Texas, inclusive. United States Coast Pilot Pacific
coast California, Washington, and Oregon. United States Coast Pilot Alaska
Part I.
Coast Pilot information relating to Bering Sea and the Arctic Ocean is also con-
tained in Bulletin No. 40. Supplements to all the volumes are issued whenever new
information makes it necessary, pending the revision of the volumes and the issue of a
new edition. All volumes are corrected to date of issue by the Survey.

TIDE TABLES.
Like many other publications of the Survey the Tide Tables were first issued as
appendices to the reports. They were issued as an independent series in 1866. In that
year the Tables were divided and issued separately for the Atlantic and Pacific coasts
of the United States. In 1895 the Tables for the two coasts were combined into one
volume from which was reprinted an edition for the Pacific coast, and, in 1901, a similar
edition for the Atlantic coast. At present the Tide Tables also contain predictions for
the principal foreign ports.

These contain corrections that should be applied to charts to keep them up to
date. Commencing with January 3, 1908, the monthly Notice to Mariners issued in
Washington was, by direction of the Secretary of Commerce and Labor, consolidated
with and made a part of the weekly Notice to Mariners issued by the Light-House
Board, and hence, commencing with January i, 1908, was discontinued as a publication
of the Survey.
