This e text comes in three forms: Unicode (UTF 8), Latin 1 and ASCII.
Use the one that works best on your text reader. In the UTF 8 (best) version, a small group of words will appear
with a macron ("long" mark) on a or u:
Tsinûk (six times), tamahno ûs (three times), mé mel ûs illa hee,
Kaw a wâh, Tâh zee (twice each)
There is also a single Greek word. The letter "oe" displays as a
single character, and apostrophes and quotation marks are "curly"
or angled. If any part of this paragraph displays as garbage, try
changing your text reader's "character set" or "file encoding". If
that doesn't work, proceed to: In the Latin 1 version, the words listed above will have a
circumflex (â or û) instead of a macron, the Greek word will be
transliterated and shown between marks, and the form "oe" is two
letters. The three long French passages still have the appropriate
accents, but apostrophes and quotation marks will be straight
("typewriter" form). Again, if you see any garbage in this
paragraph and can't get it to display properly, use: The ASCII 7 or rock bottom version. In this version, all diacritics
(accents) are gone, including accents on all French words . Much of this article is quoted from other published sources. The
resulting inconsistencies in spelling and punctuation are unchanged.
Typographical errors are listed at the end of the e text. The Table of Contents and Index were supplied from the beginning and end
of the Annual Report volume. The List of Illustrations was printed with
the article. Most footnotes are purely bibliographic. Asterisks after a few footnote
numbers [44] were added by the transcriber to identify those notes
that give further information.]
