that the Catalog of Copyright Entries "shall be admitted in any
court as prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein as regards
any copyright registration."

EXPLANATIONS TO BE NOTED BY USERS OF THIS CATALOG

THE Catalog of Copyright Entries is published in four parts.

Part 3,

containing the entries for musical compositions and dramatico-musical com-
positions, is issued at monthly intervals in twelve numbers each year, and
is followed by a complete index for the year. The general arrangement is an
alphabet of the titles of the musical works with certain exceptions explained
hereafter. The arrangement is alphabetical under the first word of the title
(except "a," "an," or "the," or the corresponding foreign articles), and a
grouping at the end of the title alphabet of such titles as will not conveniently
alphabetize (e.g., titles beginning with numerals, dates, etc.).

EXCEPTIONS.-(1) In the case of editions of classical music, instead of dis-
tributing them under the titles, each author's works are brought together by
an entry under the original composer's name, and for such works search should
be made in this number under the following names: Bach (Johann Sebastian);
Beethoven (Ludwig van); Brahms (Johannes); Chopin (Frédéric François);
Delibes (Clément Philibert Léo); Donizetti (Gaetano); Flotow (Friedrich von);
Gluck (Christoph Wilibald von); Grieg (Edvard Hagerup); Händel (Georg
Friedrich); Haydn (Franz Josef); MacDowell (Edward Alexander); Mendels-
sohn-Bartholdy (Jacob Ludwig Felix); Moszkowski (Moritz); Mozart (Wolf-
gang Amadeus); Palestrina (Giovanni Pierluigi Santo); Rossini (Gioacchino
Antonio); Rubinstein (Anton Gregorovitch); Saint-Saëns (Charles Camille);
Schubert (Franz Peter); Schumann (Robert Alexander); Strauss (Richard);
Tschaikowsky (Peter Iljitch).

(2) COLLECTIONS having general titles, such as "Fünf studien," " 12 études
élémentaires," etc., and pieces published without individual identifying titles,
but designating the class of musical work (e.g., "waltz," "dance," march,"
"cantata," schottische," nocturne," impromptu," sonata," "étude,"
"study," "exercise," etc., without differentiating words and only identifiable by
the name of the composer) are entered under the composer's name without cross
reference from the titles, and search should only be made under the names of
the composers.

Piano music is understood to be for two hands unless otherwise stated. Titles
reading "w" and "m" (signifying “words by," "music by ") are to be under-
stood as songs. Songs are understood to be with piano accompaniment unless
otherwise stated.

Under the act of March 4, 1909, the preliminary entry of titles has been
abrogated, and registration follows deposit of copies with an application for
entry in the Copyright Office.

To save space in the Catalog, the copyright notice after each title is abbre-
viated. The abbreviations used in this part are as follows: "E," Class E, Musi-
cal compositions; "D," Class D, Dramatico-musical compositions; "A," Class A,
Books containing music; " "implies copyright registration of a published
composition, followed by date of publication; " 1 c." stands for copyright of
an unpublished work, followed by date of receipt in the Copyright Office of the
printed or manuscript copy.

A list of copyright renewals made for musical compositions under section 24
of the act of March 4, 1909, will be found at the end of this issue immediately
following the text.

The final number, completing the volume, is followed by a full annual index
to both composers and proprietors. The subscription price for Part 3, which
must be for the complete calendar year, is $3, payable in advance, to the Super-
intendent of Documents, Washington, D.C., by postal money order, express
order, or New York draft.
