Notes on Transcribing this page (optional)
Some of the tables are transcribed one on top of the other (the ones that start with Dif. X or Y). At the bottom of the page are two arrows that look like they come from the lefthand page, and also two red arrows from the Mean Pos. V. Type lines that look like they point up to corresponding CPD lines. Not finished. Hit "Save" if not done; not "Complete"
This section can be used to communicate any questions or concerns to Smithsonian staff, as well as other volunteers, about this transcription. Do not use to transcribe extraneous notes made by collector or other institutions.
