CAUTIONARY REMARKS

        The papers in this volume are in the form intended

for submission, in 1950, to the editors of the publishers, who

then were the Johns Hopkins Press of Baltimore.

        It was anticipated that after an editing by the pub–

lishers their resulting version would be re-edited by the

Encyclopedia Arctica staff. In cases of disagreement, a final

version was to be arrived at by the two groups of editors.

        Those who use the present typescript will no doubt

find in it errors that would have been eliminated by one

group of editors or the other. Doubtless, too, there would

have been additions as well as other changes not due to dis–

covered errors.
