    Transcriber’s Note.

    This table summarizes those aspects of the text which were deemed to be attributable to the printer, and which have therefore been corrected.

    Place-names can be very similar, and care was taken to keep the spelling as printed, except where a single variant was obvious. For example, the reference on p. 91 to the ‘Mgaura’ River would seem to identical to the ‘Magaura’ River referred to on p. 86. The index entry for the latter mentions both pages. Lingaula Ridge is referred to once each as ‘Linguala’ (p. 91) and ‘Langaula’ (p. 93). Both are corrected in the text. With respect to the index, it should be observed that spelling there sometimes contradicts the text; thus ‘Jirimita’ Hills is referred to in the Index as ‘Jerimita’, etc. The index entries have not been corrected.
