![sonian deposit. in the Library of Congress; N. P. Scudder? and Margaret Dyer, of the library of the United States National Museum. NOTES AND EXPLANATIONS Authors’ names are arranged alphabetically and the citations chronologically under the authors. Superior numerals are used to distinguish men of the same name, or of the same surnames, whose full names are unknown, e. g., Miiller,? Miiller,? ete. ‘Surnames with prefixes are entered under the part following the prefix except in English, in French when the prefix consists of or contains an article, in Italian and Spanish when the prefix consists simply of an article; and when the prefix and the name are written as one word. The German umlaut is regarded as e in the arrange- ment of names. In the transliteration of languages not using the Latin letters the Library of Congress rules have been followed, except in some titles reprinted from the earlier Index-Catalogue. When possible, Russian and Greek titles have been copied without transliteration. The capitalization, etc., follow the usage of each language. Parentheses around a date, as (1890), under the author’s name, indicate that the compilers have not been able to verify the reference, in which case they have in many instances added in brackets some other authority for the reference in question; parentheses around year dates in the reference, as (1872) or (1875-1877), indicate that the volume is for the years in question, but that these years do not necessarily represent the date of publication; parentheses around a number immediately following the indication of a volume, as v. 3 (6), indicate the subdivisions of a volume, as number, Heft, fascicule, cahier, livraison, etc., or the numbering of a series, as Bull. (5), Mem. (7), etc. Bolton’s abbreviations W*, W‘, etc., are used to indi- cate the libraries in which the publications are found. As a rule, the compilers have given only one library for each article, although many of the papers cited can be found in two or more libraries. [* * *] sionifies that the paper is marked to be continued but. the continuation has not been found. The abbreviations used are based upon those found in the Index- Catalogue of the Surgeon General’s Library, Washington, D. C., with some modifications, such as capitalization of all main words and omission of prepositions and places of publication when such omis- sions can be made without sacrificing clearness. A. short list of abbreviations for single words and for libraries is given together with a key to the abbreviations of serials used in the citations.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b32181553_0001_0009.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
