second collection, committee report May 13, 1950
New Mexico place names : a geographical dictionary
"The Place-Name Committee of the New Mexico Folklore Society is offering its second report on the progress of the New Mexico Place-Name Dictionary. This takes the form of a second collection of several hundred place-names. These terms appear in the standardized form of the First Collection. We are still not attempting to mark pronunciations. We have not yet decided how fully to identify the locations named other than to designate the county, in parentheses, after the name. ... These Committee Reports are preliminary forms of our Place-Name Dictionary and not the final shape in which it should appear. When errors of fact or proceedure [sic] occur, we should like to have them brought to our attention. The final editing will be a matter of standardization and complete revision of materials that have been made available."--Introductory note, 2nd prelim. leaf; signed, Ina Sizer Cassidy, Chairman, Place-name Committee, [and] T.M. Pearce, Editor, New Mexico place-name dictionary

(first, second, and third collections, 1949, 1950, and 1951) were later incorporated in a published edition as: New Mexico place names : a geographical dictionary / edited by T.M. Pearce; assisted by Ina Sizer Cassidy and Helen S. Pearce. [Albuquerque, N.M.] : University of New Mexico Press, ©1965.
