EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS USED IN THE

from the work of Snodgrass it may be best to give the list 
of symbols and alphabetical lettering prepared by him and 
given on pp. 141-147 of his paper. These will aid in iden¬ 
tifying paits which are labeled in the illustrations, used in 
this book to illustrate certain portions only.
