Notice To NInrinen.

1t has been found necessary to revise
the photographic office mailing list that
governs the distribution of the monthly
pilot charts of the North Atlantic and the
North Pacific oceans. The list has ceas-
ed discriminatory to represent co-opera-
tors of the photographic office that furnish
material information to be put to use in
the making of these charts and other pub
locations of the Office. Many that former
ly contributed to this end have ceased to
do So and 1t is presumed that they do not
care to have the charts. 1t can hardly
be necessary to give reasons why the pilot
charts cannot be furnished gratis to those
that make no returns to the photographic
office Anyone desiring copies of the
monthly pilot charts can obtain them at
the agencies for the sale of hydrographic
office publications, in various ports, or from
the photographic Office, at the price of ten
cents copy. This notice is intended to
obviate correspondence, as it will explain
to those affected by the revision of the
mailing list why they may not receive the
monthly issue of the pilot charts subse-
quent to the edition for September, 1897.
