Note. — Cut up this leaf, pasting each item on the upper part of a card 5x2 inches. When a 

 publication cited is in your library, paste your own label or some distinctive paper on the lower 

 ^unused) part of its card. Vou will then keep catalogue-cards of uniform thickness, which you 

 can assort nicely into alphabetical packages. The other cards, which to you are merely bil)- 

 liographical, can, if desired, be balanced on the lower half with paper ofa different color from 

 that used in your catalogue-cards. Not only microscopical books but pamphlets and the most 

 important magazine articles should he included herein. Send to us for publication any other 

 titles that you can collect in your library, so as to complete a printed catalogue for yourself 

 and a bibliography for all.
