Abstract
Excerpts from the Preface: The present list is a revision of one compiled by the Library in 1918, entitled "Bibliographical work, special indexes, directories and lists of publications in progress” which was issued as Library Notes No. 6. The earlier compilation contained 51 entries as compared with 202 in the present list. It has been the intention to include herein only manuscript indexes and bibliographies and such printed and mimeographed lists as are kept up to date on cards. Short manuscript lists, such as are used in answering correspondence, have been excluded, as have also address lists. In the compilation of the list the Library had the assistance of the librarians and chief clerks of the various bureaus.
