 TABLE OF CONTENTS

PREFACE

The CATALOG OF COPYRIGHT ENTRIES is published by authority of sections 210 and 211 of Title 17 of the United States Code. Section 210 provides in part: "The current catalog of copyright entries and the index volumes herein provided for shall be admitted in any court as prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein as regards any copyright registration."

Each annual volume is subdivided to represent the classes of material listed in section 5 of Title 17 of the United States Code. The table at the end of this preface shows the organization of the Catalog, together with a brief listing of the materials principally contained in each part, the symbols used to distinguish the materials, and the prices of semiannual issues and of the annual subscription to the complete Catalog.

Each copyright registration listed in the Catalog is recorded in a main entry, which includes a description of the work copyrighted and data relating to the copyright claim (the name of the copyright claimant, the copyright date, the copyright registration number, etc.). Cross-references, and, in some cases, indexes, are provided.

The name of the copyright claimant in each entry is that given in the application for registration. Available information in the records of the Copyright Office relating to subsequent changes of ownership can be obtained upon request and upon payment to the Register of Copyrights of the fee specified in the law for the conduct of a search of the records.

In the case of each registration listed, except for renewals, the deposit of a copy (or copies) of the work has been made in accordance with the provisions contained in sections 12, 13, or 215 of Title 17 of the United States Code, or, in the case of published three-dimensional works of art, there has been compliance with section 202.8 (b) of the regulations of the Copyright Office, published in the Code of Federal Regulations, 1949 Edition, which provides for the deposit of identifying reproductions in lieu of the work itself. To distinguish foreign works, for which two copies have been deposited under section 215 of Title 17 of the United States Code, a zero immediately following the class symbol in the registration number has been used.

For a more complete description of the contents of this issue of the Catalog see p. vii.
