4.

When a typewritten or "red ink" annota­tion does not contain the letters "(A)" or "(C)," or the abbreviations "Appl." or "Cert.," consideration must be given as to whether to include it on an additional certificate or not. Generally, the annotation should be included if it seems likely that it also appeared on the original certificate.

5.

In reproducing an annotation, abbrevia­tions such as "C.O." and "appl." should generally be written out. Annotations should be preceded by the statement "Copyright Office Note:", unless they can be put in the "annotation box" included on certificate forms in use since 1955.

e.

The cash number, date, and amount were not included on any certificate for an unpublished work until April J, 1950, or for a published work until July 1, 1950. Thus, additional certificates covering registra­tions made before those dates should omit

the information, and those for registrations made after those dates should include it.

f.

An additional certificate of copyright reg­istration for a print or label registered in the Patent Office before July 1, 1940 consists of a photocopy of a carbon copy of the Patent Office's certificate of registra­tion (which was bound in series as a record of the entry), together with the Copyright Office's certification of the photocopy (Certification E).
