Publications of the United States National Museum 



The scholarly publications of the United States National Museum 

 include two series, Proceedings of the United States National Museum 

 and United States National Museum Bulletin. 



In these series are published original articles and monographs 

 dealing with the collections and work of the Museum and setting 

 forth newly acquired facts in the fields of Anthropology, Biology, 

 Geology, History, and Technology. Copies of each publication 

 are distributed to libraries and scientific organizations and to 

 specialists and others interested in the different subjects. 



The Proceedings, begun in 1878, are intended for the publication, 

 in separate form, of shorter papers. These are gathered in volumes, 

 octavo in size, with the publication date of each paper recorded 

 in the table of contents of the volume. 



In the Bulletin series, the first of which was issued in 1875, appear 

 longer, separate publications consisting of monographs (occasionally 

 in several parts) and volumes in which are collected works on re- 

 lated subjects. Bulletins are either octavo or quarto in size, depend- 

 ing on the needs of the presentation. Since 1902 papers relating 

 to the botanical collections of the Museum have been published 

 in the Bulletin series under the heading Contributions from the United 

 States National Herbarium.
