Preface

The CATALOG OF COPYRIGHT ENTRIES is published by authority of sections 210 and 21 1 of Title 17 of the United States Code. Section 210 provides in part: "The current catalog of copy- right entries and the index volumes herein pro- vided for shall be admitted in any court as prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein as regards any copyright registration."

Orders, payable in advance, for all parts of the Catalog of Copyright Entries should be sent to the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Orders may be placed for individual issues, as subscrip- tions for one or more parts, or for the complete Catalog for periods of one, two, or three years. All orders should state clearly the title and the inclusive dates of the part wanted; checks or money orders should be made payable to the Superintendent of Documents.

The Copyright Office welcomes inquiries, sug- gestions, and comments on the content and organization of the Catalog. Such communica- tions should be addressed to the Chief of the Cataloging Division, Copyright Office, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. 20559.

The record of each copyright registration listed in the Catalog includes a description of the work copyrighted and data relating to the copyright claim (the name of the copyright claimant as given in the application for registration, the copy- right date, the copyright registration number, etc.). For each registration listed, except for renewals, there has been deposited a copy or copies of the work in accordance with the pro- visions contained in sections 12, 13, 14, or 215 of Title 1 7 of the United States Code.

Each part listed in the following table records registrations in the class or classes indicated by the alphabetical symbols. The Second and third letters, if any, that follow the initial letter are added by the Copyright Office for the purpose of statistical analysis. Their significance is as follows :These entries alone may not reflect the complete Copyright Office record pertaining to a particular work. Contact the U.S. Copyright Office for information about any additional records that may exist.
