TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES:

The italics used for pane numbers in side notes and the catalogue have not been marked with underline characters to improve the readability of the text. The printed edition also contains some diacriticals and subscripts that are represented in this e-text as follows;

1. A macron is represented by an =, e.g. [=o]

2. A breve is represented by a ), e.g., [)c]

3. [oe] represents an oe ligature

4. A subscript in a chemical formula is surrounded by {}, e.g. Cu{2}Sb

The printed edition had the adopted names for meteorites in the various lists in bold, this e-text has instead reproduced them in upper case.

In the printed edition where a numbered section continues onto a new page the sidenotes from the previous page are sometimes repeated at the top of the new page. This e-text instead only repeats the sidenote if a new numbered section without a sidenote follows.

In one of the list of meteorites the typesetter occasionally used large curly brackets (e.g No. 271, 276, 300, 384, 395, 408, 423, 445) to collect together the names of multiple falls of meteorites and the location. Instead this e-text has the location following the adopted name for the meteorite, with the multiple falls listed below without curly brackets.
