The publications of the Geological Survey shall consist of the
annual report of the Director, which shall be confined to one volume of
royal octavo size; monographs, of quarto size; professional papers, of

Senate, four thousand for the House of Representatives, four thousand
for distribution by the Geological Survey.
The reports of the Geological Survey, except the annual report of
the Director, shall be published in editions recommended in each case by
the Director and approved by the Secretary of the Interior, but not to
exceed ten thousand copies.
When the edition of a report of the Survey is exhausted, and the
demand for it continues, there may be published, on the requisition of
the Secretary of the Interior, as many additional copies of the report
as the Director of the Survey states will, in his judgment, be necessary
to meet the demand.
The report of the mineral resources of the United States shall be
published in two octavo volumes and as a distinct publication, the
number of copies, printing of separate chapters, and mode of
distribution of which shall be the same as of the annual report.
Three thousand copies of the monographs and bulletins of the
Geological Survey shall be published.
The bulletins and professional papers shall be distributed
gratuitously and of the number published one thousand copies shall be
delivered to the Senate and two thousand copies to the House of
Representatives, for distribution.
The Director of the Geological Survey shall transmit to the Library
of Congress two copies of every report of the bureau as soon as the
first delivery to the Survey is made, in addition to those received by
the Library of Congress under any other law.
