* In 1873, the Academy issued a reprint or “second edition” of volume 1 of the Proceedings. It 
is not a precise copy inasmuch as type was reset as were the plates, thus, the pagination of the reprint 
edition neither precisely matches that of the original nor are the arrangement of images on the plates 
identical to the original. Thus, users must exercise care when using it in lien of the original publication.
