INDEX TO THE FEDERAL STATUTES
LIST OF STATUTORY DEFINITIONS
[In this list the aim has been to include only genuine definitions, and to omit provisions giving arbitrary meanings to terms for the purpose of administering specific acts. Definitions contained in acts prior to 1873 are included on the same basis as more recent ones; but local and temporary provisions are in general omitted. No distinction has been made between obsolete provisions and those now in force; the Table of Repeals and Amendments (p. 1201) will suggest the present status of provisions enacted since 1873. In addition to the definitions cited in this list there are a number of definitions or provisions in the nature of definitions cites under CUSTOMS LAWS--Classification of Imports (p. 290, 291), LAWS--Construction (p. 508), and WEIGHTS, MEASURES AND STANDARDS (p. 1116). Where quotation marks are used in this list (or in references to definitions in the preceding pages of the Index), these appear also in the provision cited.]
