Publications of the United States National Museum
The scholarly and scientific publications of the United States National Museuminclude two series, Proceedings of the United States National Museum and United StatesNational Museum Bulletin.
In these series, the Museum publishes original articles and monographs dealingwith the collections and work of its constituent museums—The Museum of NaturalHistory and the Museum of History and Technology—setting forth newly acquiredfacts in the fields of anthropology, biology, history, geology, and technology. Copiesof each publication are distributed to libraries, to cultural and scientific organizations,and to specialists and others interested in the different subjects.
The Proceedings, begun in 1878, are intended for the publication, in separate form,of shorter papers from the Museum of Natural History. These are gathered in volumes,octavo in size, with the publication date of each paper recorded in the table of contentsof the volume.
In the Bulletin series, the first of which was issued in 1875, appear longer, separatepublications consisting of monographs (occasionally in several parts) and volumes inwhich are collected works on related subjects. Bulletins are either octavo or quarto insize, depending on the needs of the presentation. Since 1902 papers relating to thebotanical collections of the Museum of Natural History have been published in theBulletin series under the heading Contributions from the United States National Herbarium,and since 1959, in Bulletins titled "Contributions from the Museum of History andTechnology," have been gathered shorter papers relating to the collections andresearch of that Museum.
This work forms volume 253 of the Bulletin series.
