4 v. , [Vol. 4] consists wholly of folded maps and folded profiles. | Added t.-p.: Executive documents printed by order of the House of representatives during the first session of the Thirty-third Congress. In nineteen volumes. Washington, A.O.P Nicholson, printer, 1854. | Jefferson Davis, secretary of war. | Authorities on U.S. documents have repeatedly stated that vol. 3 of this series of Pacific railroad explorations was not printed. The reports which were ordered printed to make up this volume are evidently rare, but they were all printed, in the same style as those of vols. 1 and 2. In the Library of Congress set, vol. 3 lacks only the general title-page and table of contents, although the last item is a photostat, made from an original printed copy which is in the Library of the U.S. Geological survey. It is "Report of the reconnaisance of a railroad route from Puget Sound via the South Pass to the Mississippi River. By Fred W. Lander, civil engineer." This exploration was made by F.W. Lander at his own expense. By a resolution of the Legislative assembly of Washington territory, March 7, 1854, the report was offered to the U.S. Congress for publication. By a resolution of the House, Aug. 3, 1854, its printing was authorized, together with "the reports of surveys for a railroad to the "Pacific." The report was included in the "Contents" of this series, as the last item of v. 3, but it was not mentioned in "List of documents accompanying the Report of the secretary of war," v. 1, p. 42-43. "By a resolution of February 14, 1855, it was ordered to be printed in connexion with the reports of the Pacific railroad explorations and surveys." A revision of the report was submitted, July 21, 1856, and was printed, together with the other reports of Doc. 129, and much additional material, in "Reports of explorations and surveys to ascertain the most practicable and economical route for a railroad from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean ... Washington, 1855-61." 12 v. in quarto. | The Library of the Superintendent of documents has now the Parke and the Williamson reports, parts of v. 3. 24 cm..
