AOKK'OW LEDflEMENT

Pi-of^BB or James Jobson was kind enough to point
out typographical and other errors in the tlv*t few
fasololes, and it was possible to make the naoossary
changes in most copies before they were sent out.

It is a real pleasure for the Cataloguer to
acknowledge further his kindness, for he has looked
through the draft of these notes before they were
nimeographed, but he did not hove access to the *anu-
scripts. Grateful thanks are accorded to him for nil
his help and generous advice.
