10. (e) Musical compositions, including other vocal and all instrumental compositions, with or without words.

But when the text is printed alone it should be registered as a "book," not as a "musical composition."

"Adaptations" and "arrangements" may be registered as "new works" under the provisions of section 6. Mere transpositions into different keys are not expressly pro- vided for in the copyright act; but if published with copy- right notice and copies are deposited with application, registration will be made.

11. (/) Maps. — This term includes all cartographical works, such as terrestrial maps, plats, marine charts, star maps, but not diagrams, astrological charts, landscapes, or drawings of imaginary regions which do not have a real existence.

12. (g) Works of art. — This term includes all works be- longing fairly to the so-called fine arts. (Paintings, draw- ings, and sculpture.)

Productions of the industrial arts utilitarian in purpose and character are not subject to copyright registration, even if artistically made or ornamented.

No copyright exists in toys, games, dolls, advertising novelties, instruments or tools of any kind, glassware, em- broideries, garments, laces, woven fabrics, or any similar articles.

13. (h) Reproductions of works of art. — This term refers to such reproductions (engravings, woodcuts, etchings, casts, etc.) as contain in themselves an artistic element dis- tinct from that of the original work of art which has been reproduced.

14. (i) Drawings or plastic works of a scientific or tech- nical character. — This term includes diagrams or models illustrating scientific or technical works, architects' plans, designs for engineering work, etc.

15- ij) Photographs. — This term covers all positive prints from photographic negatives, including those from moving-picture films (the entire series being counted as a single photograph), but not photogravures, half tones, and other photo-engravings.
