 A TOPICAL SYNOPSIS OF THE TITLES. 



By CM AS. W. SMILEY. 



[Prepared by request of Prof. S. F. Baird for the Loudon Exhibition, 1883.] 



This list was designed primarily for office reference and to prevent 

 the accidental republication of papers. But in order to show the extent 

 of the work done in this field, it has been elaborated for the purpose 

 already indicated. It is believed to contain titles of all the separate 

 articles, pamphlets, and important circulars which have been published 

 with the approval of the Commissioner. 



Very many papers which regularly appeared in the reports, bulletins, 

 or proceedings also appeared as separate tracts, and all in the two last- 

 named publications have been available in signature. In many cases 

 the fact of separate publication will be noted.
