Page [577]: Text uses both “Quan-si” and “Quansi”; both retained.

Page [580]: “grewsome” was printed that way.

Page [588]: “where in 1861” was printed that way, but likely is a misprint, perhaps for “1681”, as the next paragraph says that the plague disappeared from Europe in the eighteenth century.

[Pages 601], [602]: use both “Vallee” and “Vallée”; both retained.

Page [645]: “Moreever” was printed that way.

[Pages 669], [672]: “Wood’s Holl” was spelled that way when this issue of the magazine was published.

Page [672]: Missing page reference “76” added to “Vickery” entry, based on examination of the May, 1900 issue.

Links in the Index to the other five issues of Volume 56 will not function on all reading devices. When they do work, the first use in each session may lead to the beginning of the other issue, rather than to the specified page, but subsequent uses of any link in the same session should lead to the specified page. Links in the Index were not checked for accuracy, and the external links were not checked for validity. Due to the way two of those eBooks were prepared, links to the first article in the first two issues lead to the second page of those articles.

The other five issues of Volume 57 also are available at Project Gutenberg. The eBook numbers are [47219], [47227], [47238], [47261], and [47281].
