1 shall here take up several important points about which I have obtained 

 or found new information Avhile the луогк was going through the press. Almost 

 a year intervened between the printing of the first and the last parts of the 

 manuscript; the first proof-sheet was dated September 12, 1903, the last, 

 September 14, 1904. On reading the proof-sheets I often found it necessary to 

 make many corrections and additions. Much of the proof-reading I did during 

 a stay in Berlin which caused the printing to progress somewhat slowly and 

 even to be interrupted for a short period. Even if the subject that I have 

 investigated is not one about which we are continually hearing something 

 new, yet many months cannot pass without some change in the state of 

 knowledge in this department. A whole year is bound to bring new con- 

 tributions. Neither have I ceased in my own research and of course the 

 results of my research have been of more significance for the latter part of 

 the work than for the part that was already printed. This will be sufficiently 

 evident from the following concluding remarks.
