^ A large portion of this part was completed some years ago, but was put aside owing to my being 

 unable to find time for the remainder, .^bout a year ago I was so fortunate as to obtain the assistance 

 of Mr Hugh Scott, to whom is due much of the concluding portion of this part. Mr Scott's actual 

 contributions are distinguished by his name or initials being added. I have, however, to thank him for 

 much assistance in preparing my own portions for press. D. S.
