    Treasury Department, Bureau of U. S. Marine-Hospital Service, Washington, D. C, January^ 1874. The attention of Medical Officers is respectfully called to the follow- ing extract from the Begiilcotlons of the United states Marine-Hospital Service, approved October 1, 1873: The Provisional Nomenclature of the Royal College of Physicians of London, (Eng.,) is adopted by the United States Marine-Hospital Bureau, as the nosologi- cal system to be observed by medical officers of the Service in their reports and com- munications. As this is too bulky to insert in a volume of Regulations, intended also for the guidance and information of others not concerned with the professional details of the Service, the Nomenclature is issued separately, and will be supplied to medical officers, on requisition, by the Bureau. It is desired that the Report of Diseases and Injuries (Form 15) and the Report of Surgical Operations (Form IG) be made out in strict con- formity with this system. Supervising Surgeon. [iii]
