Transcriber’s Notes

Some tables and illustrations have been moved; some tables have been re-arranged. Due to their width, several of the tables are best viewed in a wide window.

Unusual or archaic spelling and inconsistencies in spelling (including between text and indexes), use of diacriticals, lay-out, hyphenation, etc. have been retained, except as mentioned below. Non-English words (including geographical names) have not been corrected, except as mentioned below.

Depending on the hard- and software used, not all elements may display as intended.

The geographic and climatological data in Part II are given here as printed in the source document. In general they do not appear to be very reliable (see also the first paragraphs of Part II, Section II and the author’s remarks with some of the individual tables). There are inconsistencies in the data, and the conversion from degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius (or vice versa) and from inches to millimetres (or vice versa) has apparently not always been done with the same conversion factors or accuracy. Only obvious typographical errors in the data (where the location of the error could be identified) have been changed; see below under Changes. Similarly, the results of calculations (such as sums and means) do not always agree with the data on which they are supposed to be based; here, too, corrections have only been made in case of obvious typographical errors where the location of the error could be identified. A good deal of caution in using the data is advisable.

Figures 3 and 12 are (apart from the caption) identical in the source document.

Page I-57 and index: Cgaleka is possibly a typographical error for Chaleka or Chalekah
