Note: The "Dubester Numbers" refer to entries in: United States. Library of Congress. Census Library Project. Catalog of United States Census Publications, 1790-1945. Prepared by Henry J. Dubester. Washington, D.C., G.P.O., 1950.

According to a note in Dubester's Catalog of United States Census Publications 1790-1945, "The following final reports [nos. 1112 -1123] were to have been published in a single bound volume entitled... "Territories and Possessions," but such volume was never issued." These 12 reports are now being combined and printed in a single volume for the first time (as part of the Ross Census Reprint Series). We are also incorporating 1124, 1127-28 because they all deal with the same "outlying areas." All 15 reports were originally published as bulletins by the GPO between 1941 and 1943.
