ANALYTICAL INDEX

(Modelled on the corresponding Index in the original German, as compiled by DR. LUDWIG LANDGREBE of Freiburg-im-Breisgau, 1928, on the basis of Dr. Gerda Walther’s Ausführliches. Sachregister, 1933.)

[TR. NOTE.—The references in this Index are to the Subsections, not, as in the original, to the pages. The letters a, b, c refer to the first, second, and final third of the subsections respectively. Ab refers to the area where a and b connect; bc to the connecting area between b and c. Where there is no mention either of a, b, or c, the reference is to the section as a whole. Dr. Landgrebe’s headings and references have been faithfully followed in the order given, except where the requirements of the English version necessitated some omission, addition, or deviation. Explanatory comments appear where needed within square brackets. Every reference in Dr. Landgrebe’s Index has been tested, and the slips, very few, thereby avoided, though there may of course be fresh ones in the English version, for which Dr. Landgrebe is not responsible. The more important references—as so judged by Dr. Landgrebe—have their section number, in the English as in the German version, cast in heavier type.]
