Commencing with the documents for the year 1900, a Document Number has been assigned to each State departmental report.

This number is determined by the chronological order of the first printed independent issue of such report and will in future be retained by it, thus showing the relative chronological place it occupies in the printed reports of the

State.

A list of these reports, with the date of first printed issue and the document number of each, appears on the following page.

WM. E. SEELEY,

Comptroller.
