In August, 1886, the Director of the Bureau was authorized by joint resolution of Congress to begin the publication of a series of Bulletins, which were issued in octavo form and in paper covers, and in July, 1888, the continuation of the series was authorized by concur- rent resolution. Provision for publishing the Bulletins was omitted from the public printing law of Jan. 12, 1895, and the issue termi- nated in 1894. Up to that time 24 bulletins had been published. By concurrent resolution in April, 1900, Congress authorized the resump- tion of the Bulletin series in royal octavo form. No. 25, 26, and 97 were issued under this provision, and in February, 1903, by joint resolution of Congress the octavo form was again resumed. Since then Bulletins 28 and 29 have appeared, while no. 30, 31, and 32 are in press. The maximum edition of the Bulletin series is 8,000 copies, of which the Senate receives 1,500, the House of Representatives 3,000, and the Bureau of American Ethnology 3,500 copies. Besides the series mentioned there have been issued small editions of four Introductions and of eight Miscellaneous Publications, intended wholly or chiefly for the use of collaborators and correspondents. These were not specially authorized by Congress, but asa ule were paid for from the annual appropriations for continuing researches. With the exception of the few copies of the publications of the Bureau disposed of by the Superintendent of Documents the editions are distributed free of charge. The quota allowed the Bureau is dis- tributed mainly to libraries and institutions of learning and to collab- orators and others engaged in anthropological research or in instruction.
