1/ Details by series on a cumulative basis and by periods for Series A-D
combined will be found In the February 1952 and previous Issues of the
"Treasury Bulletin."
2/ Includes exchanges of matured Series E bonds for Series G bonds beginning May 1951 and for Series E bonds beginning May 1952.
3/ Includes both matured and unmatured bonds; see Table k.
k/ Includes total value of redemptions not yet classified between matured
and unmatured bonds
U
A change In procedure, beginning In June 195k, for processing redeemed
sarlngs bonds has resulted In a high lerel of redemptions not yet
classified between matured and unmatured bonds. This Increase temporarily obscures the relationship between the redemption columns showing sales price and accrued discount In Tables 2 through k and also
the relationship between the matured and unmatured sections of Table k.
(See also footnote k.) The subsequent distribution of this high level

J

u

of unclassified redemptions may be large enough In any month to shov
redemptions of matured bonds for a series In Table h which are greater
than the total redemptions of that series as ehovn In Table 3, and to
shew a negative In the unmatured section of Table U.
Reductions vera made In Issues and redemptions of Series E. H, 7, G,
J, and E In July 195^ to compensate for the erroneous inclusion of
reissue transactions In June 195** as reported In the dally Treasury
statement. The amounts involved were as follows : $18 million for
Issues of Series £ and H and $17 million for Issues of Series P, G, J.
and K; and $35 million for unclassified retirements.
Sales began June 1, 1952.
Comparable data are not available prior to January 1950.
Includes exchangee of Series 1941 F and G savings bonds for Treasury
3-1 A* bonus of 1978-6*3.
Leas than $500,000.

Internal Revenue Service reports for detail of collections by type
of tax; dally Treasury statement for budget receipts from internal
revenue through the fiscal year 1952, and the monthly statement of receipts and expenditures of the Government for receipts thereafter (for
explanation of reporting bases in these publications, sse page II).
Certain detail by type of tax is available only from returns filed with
the Internal Revenue Service. The figures ebovn include collections for
credit to special accounte for certain island possessions, as reported
by the Internal Revenue Service. Beginning with the fiscal year 1955,
they include the amounts of tax collected in Puerto Rico upon articles
of merchandise of Puerto Rlcsn manufacture coming Into the United
States. Figures for 1954 have been revised to the same basis. Figures
for previous ysars include only amounts collected at ports of entry
Into the United States.
1/ Dlfferencee between the amounts of internal revenue reported by the
Internal Revenue Service as collections for given periods and the amounts
reported in Treasury statements as budget receipts for the same periods
arose because of differences in the time when payments were Included in
the respective reports. Tax payments are Included in budget receipts
when they are reported as credits to the account of the Treasurer of the
United States. Prior to July 1954, they were included in Internal Revenue
Servioe collection reports after the returns to which they applied had been
received in internal revenue offices. Under procedure begun in 1950 with
withheld Income tax and old-age insurance taxes and later extended to
railroad retirement taxes and many excises, these taxes are paid currently
into Treasury depositaries and the depositary receipts, as evidence of
such payments, are attached to quarterly returns to the Internal Revenue
Service, Under this procod-ire, the payments are Included In budget
