We received all three lists and the maps and will gladly send copies
of the lists if you want.

96-7  is 3 segements of the Ground water atlas of the US:  HA-730-B,
HA-730-C, and HA-730-K.
 
96-14 is a group of 16 usgs thematic maps.  if i remember right, they
came in an envolope which looked exactly like other depository materials
envolopes.  you might check with your gov't docs people.
 
96-21 is list of topos.
 
Have everyone noticed the dramatic drop in items sent out by usgs during
this last fisical year.  Up until Oct 4 last year,  USGS sent out 44
shipments.  After Oct 5, only 2 came.  THis year only 24 have come.  And
the shipments are not larger (like they are doubling the amount they are
sending, and thus saving postage).  What is the story??  I strongly
suspect that it has to do with gov't cut backs.  This shipping list 24 is
the first bunch of 7.5' topos sent since the beginning of august.
 
my 2 cents
