Note on 1918 Recording Sessions in New York
The following table, drawn from Rust and Brooks, p. 175, and reconciled with Arnold (see below), shows that the New York recording sessions included a good deal of repertoire beyond that released on the four known Columbia publications (A6087, A6090, A6101, A6122). Date, from Columbia card files, "is generally the date the master was shipped to the factory for processing" (Rust and Brooks, p. viii).

NOTES:
See:
Brian Rust and Tim Brooks: The Columbia Master Book Discography, Volume IV: U.S. Twelve-Inch Matrix Series, 1906-1931 (Westport, Connecticut, Greenwood Press, 1999), p. 175.
Claude Graveley Arnold: The Orchestra on Record, 1896-1926 (Westport, Connecticut: Greenwood Press, 1997), pp. 70, 88, 90, 364, 385, 386, 388.
Other notes:
The orchestra is variously identified, usually as "French Symphony Orchestra, " also "Paris Conservatory Symphony Orchestra."
"Takes known to have been issued are underlined" (Rust and Brooks, p. ix).
It seems reasonable to conclude that 49531, the Verdi duet "with orchestra" was recorded during the same sessions with the Société des Concerts.
S5127 is a recoupling in the Spanish export series, pre 1924. 6907-M is the same coupling in the "Celebrity" series (South America), c. 1924 or later.
