Transcriber’s Note

The unmatched ‘)’ at 95.1 ‘recorded subconsciously, coconsciously).’, has no simple resolution, based on the grammar and punctuation, and has been left as-is.

There appears to be a confusion of quotation marks at 282.15. The final phrase contains an opening double quote, which is belied by a short single-quoted phrase just above, and the final footnote referring to Janet’s text.

The labels on the two graphs in the image on p. 425 were chopped and have been added.

Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the original.
