Transcriber's notes:

(1) Numbers following letters (without space) like C2 were originally
printed in subscript. Letter subscripts are preceded by an
underscore, like C_n.

(2) Characters following a carat (^) were printed in superscript.

(3) Side-notes were relocated to function as titles of their respective
paragraphs.

(4) Letters topped by Macron are represented as [=x].

(5) Letters with a dot below are represented as [x.].

(6) The following typographical errors have been corrected:

Article DIPLOMATIC: "Of later date was the Ars dictaminis of
Bernard of Chartres of the 12th century." Omitted a superfluous '('.

Article DIPTERA: "they are simply Cyclorrhapha much modified owing
to parasitism, and in view of the closely similar mode of
reproduction in the tsetse-flies the special designation Pupipara
should be abandoned." 'similar' amended from 'similiar'.

Article DIPTERA: "The famous Tertiary beds at Florissant, Colorado,
have yielded a considerable number of remarkably well-preserved
Tipulidae." 'of' amended from 'or'.

Article DIRECTORS: "They have to carry on the company's business,
to extend and consolidate it, and to do this they must have a free
hand and a large discretion to deal with the exigencies of the
commercial situation." 'commercial' amended from 'commerical'.

Article DIVERS: "But so exhausting is the work, and so severe the
strain on the system, that, after a number of dives in deep water,
the men often become insensible, and blood sometimes bursts from
nose, ears and mouth." 'sometimes' amended from 'sometime'.
