Page 30. Table H was split into three tables, (H1–H3), on the Colony
headings in column 1, the headings being the same as for Table A, see
above. Then each sub-table was split after column 7, repeating column 1
in both Parts.
Page 36. In Table H, there are five succussive rows headed by
_Milagria_ _Dehiwella_, _Attidiya vernacular school_, _Weligampittia_,
and _Dandogame_. In column five, the corresponding entries were 5,″,
- -, ″, and ″, respectively. In this edition, the spaced hyphens have
been converted to an em dash, and the three ditto marks are made “5”.
There is ample room for debate about this judgment, however.
Page 40. Tables I and K each had three tall RIGHT CURLY BRACKETs
intended to combine the information in two or three table cells. This
edition removes the brackets, and combines the information into one
cell per bracket, by the use of the word _or_. Other tables containing
tall brackets were handled in the same way. ¶ Furthermore, in Table
K, in the second column opposite _Rheumatismus acutus or Rheumatismus
chronicus_, there were three spaced hyphens; also in the last row,
2nd column. The rest of the data in columns 2–4 were either numbers
or em dashes. The meaning of the spaced hyphens is not clear to the
transcriber, and all such, even in other tables, have been converted to
em dashes.
Page 41. Table L was split into two parts after column 13, retaining
the first column in both parts. Same for Table P, page 44, and for
Table R, page 46, and for Table T, page 48.
Page 50. Table V, column 2, opposite _Chest diseases_, changed “20 7”
to “20·7”. Also split the table same as for L, P, R, and T. Table X,
page 52, was also split.
Page 59. In the table, _Phthsis_ was changed to _Phthisis_.
Page 65. There is in the printed book a centered heading in italics
“_Remarks by the Rev. Mr. Ondoatjee._” The sidenote adjacent to
the paragraph following is “MATURA.” There is no other mention of
“Ondoatjee” in the book. Without understanding the significance of
this reference to “Ondoatjee”, the transcriber has made both of these
headings of the same level (h3 in html code).
Page 66. In the sidenote, _MANATOWANING_ was changed to _MANITOWANING_.
Also, _ana verage_ was changed to _an average_.
