Note. — The particulars afforded by the above Table are, I admit, far from satisfactory. They are not 

 only incomplete, but, in several instances, exhibit results inconsistent or contradictory. That there must be 

 many errors in the Table, I feel perfectly assured. One cause of error arises from this circumstance, that the 

 colliers, and even the most intelligent overseers, often confound the hacks vdth the cutters, — or rather the terms. 

 This Table ought not therefore to be relied on, to any great extent ; and I have put it into the Appendix, only 

 because it is referred to in the Memoir, and because it may suggest to other observers, a convenient form for 

 registering the results of their inquiries.
