This outline is presented in the above compact form so as 

 to show at a glance just what has been accomjDlished by the 

 Commission working mostly independently from the very 

 beginning. This independent plan of investigation was 

 outlined purposely, so as to confirm what had been done by 

 former investigators. The results as published in these re- 

 ports will show how closely these tally in most cases with 

 the published results of former and contemporary workers.

It will be seen therefore, that the seeming disregard for the 

 results of previous investigators was not intended as a 

 slight, nor had the writer or the Commission the remotest 

 idea of ignoring what had already been done by others. 

 That there should have been the least apparent feeling of 

 ill will or jealousy exhibited either by myelf or others, is 

 deeply regreted by me. 



Any changes in or additions to the former report will be 

 given below.
