                      Historical and Revision Notes

    Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 375 (Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 
231, Sec. 260, 36 Stat. 1161; Feb. 25, 1919, ch.29, Sec. 6, 40 Stat. 
1157; Mar. 1, 1929, ch. 419, 45 Stat. 1422; May 11, 1944, ch. 192, 
Secs. 1, 3, 58 Stat. 218, 219).
    Only part of section 375 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., appears in 
this section. The remainder is incorporated in sections 136, 294 and 371 
of this title.
    The term ``chief judge'' was substituted for ``senior district 
judge''. (See reviser's note under section 136 of this title.)
    Minor changes in phraseology were made.
