Transcription Notes:
One of the hardest to read and hardest to transcribe pages in the journal, due to crowding, bleed-through ink, etc. Researchers should double check every entry for accuracy. In some cases I have transcribed and aligned for mathematical clarity and/or continuity rather than transcribing text literally which would confuse context if transcribed purely by SI rules. Should be viewed in the full journal page above the full across the page transcription box mode. I have used sun and moon unicode symbols ? & ??.
