Excerpt from Regulations and Instructions of the United States Geological Survey On January 1, 1903, a revised edition of the Survey regulations went into died, and on May 1, 1903, a book of instructions for the guidance of Survey members was issued. A committee on revision of regulations was appointed October 29, 1907, but its work was terminated by orders from the Department to incorporate the Survey regulations in a proposed set of department regulations. These departmental regulations were never issued, and on March 30, 1910, a new committee was appointed to revise the Survey regu lations. In the preparation of these regulations use has been made of all essential material contained in former regulations and instructions, as well as of the material collected by the committee of 1907, the object being to combine in one volume the law, regulations, and instructions applicable to the fiscal and other operations of the Survey, omitting, however, directions relative to technical and scientific procedure. Members of the Survey are expected to read the book carefully and to comply strictly with the provisions of law and the regulations.
