Bibliographic Note

This is not a one-for-one transcription of the original document.
A decision on the intrinsic value of the document permitted and the demands of presentation in electronic format required that the original be modified for meaningful online presentation. The charts, somewhat altered, are presented in tables and in preformatted text.

All data in the electronic version is identical to the data in the original--a carbon, typewritten copy on a paper with the quality of onion skin. Due to the poor quality of the original, attempts to scan in the original text and perform optical character recognition were unsuccessful. Therefore, all text, charts and numbers were entered by hand. In some cases, it was necessary to edit the text when it was obvious that an error existed in the original, (for example). These particular emendations are all noted in the body of the work. The original document was unpaged. Some changes in capitalization have been made for appearance and uniformity. The photographs appear in the order in which they appear within the text, but also

  1. as links, where appropriate, directly within the text; and,
  2. as a group of thumbnails.

The original document has been disbound and photocopied and the photocopies rebound. Negatives and contact prints were made of the original prints which have been protectively filed away.
