INDEX TO THE RECORD AND GUIDE. Vol* XLVIII. JULY-----DECEMBER, INCLUSIVE. 189]. The following semi-annual Index of the Con¬ veyances and Projected Buildings in New York City, as published in The Record .^nd Guide during the last half of 1891, will be found of great value to those of our subscribers who have pre¬ served all the issues of this paper during that period. Otu: usual care has been taken to keep the Index up to the same perfect standard which has characterized it iu the past. The pages are given on which all the transfers of realty pub¬ lished in Volume XLVIII. can be found, and the streets and avenues are so subdivided that few references are required. For instance, transfers of property on the Bowery appear in nine issues dur¬ ing the six months. The Bowery in the Index is subdivided into five parts, so that the least possible trouble need be incurred, provided it is known between what streets the property is lo¬ cated. In this volume we have continued to ar¬ range the transfers in such a manner that every street affected can be seen at a glance by turning to the pages which the Index calls for. Take for instance page 11 and find thereon: 2d av, Nos. 20.55 and 2057 ) begins 2d av, w s, 106th st, No. 248 f 511.6 s lC6th st, runs south 50.3 x west ICO x north 100.9 to 106th st, X east 27 x south 50.6 x east 78. The above applies when a piece of property is on the corner of any street or avenue and runs in depth upon both streets more than 100 feet, or when a plot has buildings fronting on both streets, and'also when the property begins on one street and runs to another. Although many of our subscribers have used the Index for years, some of them do not fuUy understand the com¬ pleteness of the work. We ■ are frequently told of errors that our readers think they have dis¬ covered, which, upon investigation, prove to be errors of the searcher—not of the Index. For in¬ stance, in the current number appears the follow¬ ing: 7Sth st, s s, bet 1st and 2d avs, 45, 152, the latter being the pages on which transfers on said street may be found. Now, turning to page 45, the average searcher would fail to find the item referred to, because it does not appear in the alphabetical order of streets. A close search shows the item under the head of Pike st. No. 46, where a contract is made to exchange each for the other. The Index is, therefore, in some cases condemned for a supposed omission which is really the strong¬ est evidence of the thoroughness with which it has been compiled. Where such an omission should occasionally seem apparent to the sub¬ scriber, he should search the whole page, and he will then find the item which is referred to. The Projected Buildings are indexed in a similar man¬ ner, so that it can readily be ascertained on what streets improvements have been made. Those wishing to keep a file for permanent reference should see that all the numbers are complete and have them bound. A suitable binder can be ob¬ tained at the office of The Record and Guide, 14 and 16 Vesey street; price, one doUar. Annexed will be ;f ound a table showing the boundary lines, also the nmnber of blocks con¬ tained in each of the thirteen Sections, and under which all property is now indexed in the Register's office by locality on new land maps of New York Cicy, according to law, which went mto effect Jan. 1, 1891: Sec, 1.- 2.- 3.- 4.- r—: 8.—: 9.- 10.- 11.— 12. 13. ■South of Grand and Walts sts, between East and North Rivers.

Note.—The figures in extra black tyjjc—for instance, pages 217 and 518 under the head of Attorney st, from Broome to Delancey sts—de¬ note that the transaction on the pages given is Leasehold, or a lease running for a long term of years. This explanation is made so that subscrib¬ ers searching for transfers in fee can at once dis¬ tinguish between the former and the latter with¬ out referring to the page mentioned. NEW YORK CITY.
