This is the amended index, which rectifies the error that crept into the computer-generated index of this volume.
All entries were indexed, but items 160-518 in all three indices were indexed at one number less than their number
in the calendar. For example: entries in the index for item 199 referred to item 200. This amended index can be
downloaded as a PDF from the List and Society website at
