Th e titles filed for record are carefully indexed, eachentry having a card under the name of the proprietor; andbooks, periodicals, dramatic compositions, and maps have,in addition, title or author ca rd s.

After having been first used asthe copy for the Catalogue of Title Entries required to bepriiltecl \veekly by act of Congress of March 3, 1891 (Fift y-first Congress, second sessio~~,hapter 565), these cardsbeconie part of the permanent indexes of the CopyrightOffice.

I t is very desirable that all copyright registrations shouldbe thoroughly indexed in order tha t the frequent inquiriesreceived at the office relative to entrie s made, or supposedto have beell made, can be fully and authoritativelyanswered. Th e current indexing is fairly complete, theindex cards for the fiscal year numbering nearly 140,000,and this tliorough indexing dates back to January I , 1898.Ent ries from 1870 to 1897, however, numbering nearly onemillion, are not so adequately indexed, and it is a constantoccurrence to receive inquiries as to entries made during
