SALES OF DEPARTMENT PUBLICATIONS. 



The sales of department publications of all kinds by the Superin- 

 tendent of Documents aggregated 226,890 copies, for which he 

 received $20,587.88. 



The remittances received in this division in payment for bulletins, 

 reports, etc., aggregated $3,322.28. A record was kept of all such 

 money and the publications desired, and the correspondence and the 

 money were forwarded day by day, as received, to the Superintendent 

 of Documents, who receipted for the amount and sent the publications 

 requested. The amount of money forwarded to the department for 

 publications continues to increase, notwithstanding the announce- 

 ments that are made in all our lists that applications for the purchase 

 of publications should be made only to the Superintendent of Docu- 

 ments. This division, however, has cheerfully cooperated with the 

 Superintendent of Documents, receiving and forwarding to him all 

 remittances, avoiding any delay.
