U. S. BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES 



The decisions of the U. S. Board on Geographic Names will hereafter be pub- 

 lished in the National Geographic Magazi.vk. All the decisions of the Board 

 np to Jnne 1, 19U0, are included in a report recently snbniitted to President 

 McKinlej- and now in press. The Board recommended that, in addition to the 

 nsual number, some 1,800 or 1,900, 8,000 extra copies be printed for general and 

 departmental use. On this recommendation the Senate acted favorably, but 

 the House of Representatives took no action. The Board therefore has no 

 copies of this report for distribution, and persons desiring copies shouhi apply 

 to their Representatives in Congress. The following are the decisions rendered 

 since the report went to press :
