CUMULATIVE INDEX TO SERVICE AND 
REGULATORY ANNOUNCEMENTS 
Nos. 1 to 117, inclusive (1914-33), Bureau of Plant Quarantine 
Compiled by Horace S. Dean, plant quarantine inspector, Division of Foreign 
Plant Quarantines, Bureau of Plant Quarantine 
FOREWORD 
The Service and Regulatory Announcements were first published monthly and 
are now issued quarterly. They constitute a permanent record of the work of 
the Bureau in the enforcement of the Plant Quarantine Act of 1912 and certain 
related acts, including the text of quarantines and regulations thereunder, and 
the more important circulars explanatory of, or bearing on, such quarantines 
and regulations. 
While practically the whole mass of official information relating to Federal 
quarantine activities during this 20-year period appears in these announcements 
in concise form, reference to individual items is often uncertain, difficult, and 
tedious, it is usually necessary in such a search to consult several yearly indexes, 
and if the reference runs into the earlier years it is found that the indexes 
then issued are not so complete as those of more recent date. Consequently this 
compilation of a cumulative index aims to fill a long-felt need by providing a 
quick and complete means of reference to every article in the series from every 
angle of approach likely to be needed. Care has been taken to include correct 
citations of titles and dates, so that the index contains several lists valuable 
in themselves because of their completeness. It will be found, for example, that 
each quarantine is accompanied by a complete list of its amendments and 
regulations. 
In a few cases references to items which were not published in the S.R.A. 
series are included. These comprise quarantine notices issued before publica- 
tion of the series was begun, several notices of revisions and amendments which 
were not published in the S.R.A. record, and various numbered circulars of 
minor nature. An effort has been made to include every stray item of this kind 
so as to make the index as comprehensive as possible. 
Any one using this index will usually find it more expedient to refer imme- 
diately to the major quarantine topic concerned; e.g., should he wish to find 
reference to an obsolete circular letter dealing with charges for the disinfection 
of imported cotton at commercial fumigation plants, he should refer to Cotton 
regulations, and the information desired would be located under disinfection. 
" H.B.", " P.Q.C.A.", and " B.P.Q." are used as designations for circulars in 
the numbered series published by the Federal Horticultural Board, Plant Quar- 
antine and Control Administration, and Bureau of Plant Quarantine, respec- 
tively. " S.R.A/' has been used in the index as an abbreviation for Service 
and Regulatory Announcements: other abbreviations found in the index are 
conventional. The pagination of the S.R.A. is on an annual basis and, in the 
index, the numbers following the years refer to pages.
