Hello All,

Many thanks to Rober Lopresti for posting the list of stolen material from
WWU.

I'll pass on the following information without further comment.  There are
copies of at least two of the maps in list 4 offered for auction on eBay.
Their listings can be found by searching eBay for the item number following
the descriptions below:


>Serial Set volume.  330.
>25th Congress, 2d. Session.  1837-38.
>House Executive Doc. 399.  Page 1.
>Chart of the entrance of Sandusky Bay, State of Ohio.
Sounds like eBay item number: 7409702228


>Serial Set volume.  344.
>25th Congress, 3d. Session.  1838-39.
>House Executive Doc. 2.  Page 360.
>Map 2: Chart of the eastern part of Presqu'ile Bay showing the
>changes of outline of shore going on in consequence of the erection
>of the U.S. works.
>Map 3: Map exhibiting the condition of the U.S. works at the head of
>Presqu'ile Bay.
Sounds like eBay item number: 7409638227

I haven't checked all of the maps in list 4.  There may be more.

You may remember that Western Washington University suffered a
theft/vandalism incident in February, when more than a hundred
government documents were attacked, with sellable material (mostly
maps), stolen.

With the help of Donna Koepp and a library that loaned us part of
her invaluable index to maps in the Serial Set, we have completed
what we hope is the last list of missing material.

All of these books are early volumes of the Serial Set (1833-1845)
and essentially all of the missing pages are maps.
