PUBLISHER’S NOTE. For conservation reasons this edition has been prepared from
microfilm made available by the British Library. Many of the original volumes, through
age and adverse conditions in the past, have become fragile and can no longer be handled.
A curvature effect is visible at the inner edge of some pages where the original volume
could not be opened flat during microfilming, but the text remains legible. In a few instances,
usually with tabular matter, top or bottom lines may be missing or broken on the originals.
In Volume X (1941-1947) the print quality is variable and at times unavoidably poor.
The Administration Reports in the 1940s were not printed but typed, and for some reports
the only original text available has been a carbon copy in poor condition. Readers are
assured that the printers, through careful preparation, have done as much as possible to
sharpen the print quality and even out the irregularities of the originals.
A general reduction in page size of approximately 20% has been applied to the original
reports, some of which vary in format, in the interest of creating a uniform edition.

Printed by Redwood Bum Ltd., Trowbridge, and bound by Green Street Bindery, Oxford.
