Suggestions to authors of papers submitted for publication by the United States Geological Survey with directions to typewriter operators

The first pamphlet containing suggestions to authors for the preparation of manuscript intended for publication by the Geological Survey was published in January, 1888.  This pamphlet was revised and reprinted in 1892.  In 1904 the Survey published suggestions for the preparation of geologic folios, and in 1906 suggestions for the preparation of reports on mining districts.  All matter of present value that was included in these publications, with much additional material, has been incorporated in the pamphlet here presented.  The first edition of this pamphlet was published in 1909.  The edition now published contains some new material and discusses in greater detail several suggestions that were made in the first edition.  In the compilation of both editions valuable aid has been rendered by Mr. Bernard H. Lane, assistant editor.
