Transcriber’s note:
Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a
predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were
not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; ambiguous hyphens at the
ends of lines were retained.
Table I on page 6 originally was six columns wide, but has been split
here to meet width limitation requirements.
