A special opportunity will be afforded 

 for the discussion of methods of sur- 

 veying and map-making, and for the 

 comparison of these methods as pursued 

 in other countries with the work of the 

 great federal and state surveys main- 

 tained in this country. 



Members and delegates desirous of 

 presenting communications before the 

 Congress, or wishing to propose sub- 

 jects for discussion, are requested to 

 signify their wishes at the earliest prac- 

 ticable date, in order that the titles or 

 subjects may be incorporated in a pre- 

 liminary program to be issued in June, 

 1904. The time required for present- 

 ing communications should be stated ; 

 otherwise twelve minutes will be allot- 

 ted. It is anticipated that not more 

 than twenty minutes can be allotted for 

 any communication, unless the Presi- 

 dency decide to extend the time by rea- 

 son of the general interest or importance 

 of the subject. The Presidency, with 

 the complete organization of the Con- 

 gress (including delegates), will be 

 announced in the preliminary program 

 of June, 1904. 



All papers or abstracts designed for 

 presentation before the Congress, and 

 all proposals and applications affecting 

 the Congress, will be submitted to a 

 Program Committee, who shall decide 

 whether the same are appropriate for 

 incorporation in the announcements, 

 though the decisions of this committee 

 shall be subject to revision by the Presi- 

 dency after the Congress convenes. 



Any proposal affecting the organiza- 

 tion of the Congress or the program 

 for the Washington session must be re- 

 ceived in writing not later than May 1 , 

 1904. Communications designed to be 

 printed in connection with the Congress 

 must be received not later than June 1, 



and any abstracts of communications 

 (not exceeding 300 words in length) 

 to be printed in the general program to 

 be published at the beginning of the 

 session must be received not later than 

 August 1, 1904. Daily programs will 

 •be issued during the sessions.
