George w. Archer states have crept in from
time to time in the publication of the lists o

many of these errors were the fault OF tn
printer or how many were due to the Doctor
peculiar and almost microscopic chirography
but, no matter how they came about, the arti

many people. We are glad to maxi
the corrections and advise all who have
preserved the printed lists to also fill

them. One or two persons have statet
