Transcriber's note

The spelling in the original is sometimes idiosyncratic. It has not been changed, but a few obvious errors have been corrected. The corrections are listed at the [end of this etext] and marked with a mouse-hover.

The four figures appear in a single illustration in the original. In this etext they also appear close to the text that refers to them: [Fig 1], [Fig 2], [Fig 3], [Fig 4].
