(2) The table as drawn up by Mr. Blackburn was evidently 

 intended to be rewritten, as many of the words were abbreviated, 

 some notes not intended for publication were on it, and there is 

 no CC. to correspond with the present one, nor any DD. Still I 

 think it will be found useful as now given. — A. M. Lea.
