TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE

A missing word is denoted by the caret ^ .

There is only one footnote in the book, referenced eight times from the list of Carrier Stations on [page 193], and it has been placed at the end of that list.

Fractions are shown in the format a-b/c, for example 7-2/25 or 1/4; the original book used the format a b-c.

Some other minor changes to the text are noted at the [end of the book.]
