SUBJECT INDEX 



Titles of Sections and Chapters and the page numbers at which they begin are printed 

 in heavy type. Names of ships and of genera and species are printed in italics. 



Where a single index entry (such as a geographical name) is followed by a string of page 

 numbers the reader should consult the list of contents at the beginning of the book to 

 differentiate them by subject.
