Overview

Excerpt from Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, Vol. 1 The position of a work in one or the other of the two series will sometimes depend upon whether the required illustrations can be presented more conveniently in the quarto or the octavo form. In both the Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge, and the present series, each article is separately paged and indexed, and the actual date of its publication is that given on its special title' page, and not that of the volume in which it is placed. In many cases, works have been published, and largely distributed, years before their combination into volumes.
