Footnotes have been renumbered continuously. They are marked with
leading [N] to avoid confusion with other bracketed numerals. Many
illustrations were labeled for scale as “1/4”, “2/3” and similar.
These notations have been retained for completeness.
_Orthography_ is briefly described early in the article. Note in
particular the vowels ɐ and ǝ (inverted a and e); both are rare. The
inconsistent use of ĸ and ρ, especially in material quoted from other
sources, is not explained. The letter ĸ (kra) is equivalent to q in
modern (ICI) orthography; ρ (rho) may represent r or voiced/nasalized q.
Decimal points throughout the article were prined as · (mid-dot). They
have been changed to . (ordinary decimal or period). Oversized letters
or symbols (rare) are shown as #A#.
Typographical errors corrected by the transcriber are listed at the end
of the e-text. Some inconsistencies were noted but not changed; some of
these are also listed.

Gutenberg as ebook 42084.]
