The First Annual Report includes ten “Accompanying Papers”, allavailable from Project Gutenberg as individual e-texts. Except forYarrow’s “Mortuary Customs”, updated shortly before the present text,the separate articles were released between late 2005 and late 2007. Forthis combined e-text they have been re-formatted for consistency, andmost illustrations have been replaced. Some articles have been furthermodified to include specialized characters shown above, and a few moretypographical errors have been corrected.

For consistency with later Annual Reports, a full List ofIllustrations has been added after the Table of Contents, and eacharticle has been given its own Table of Contents. In the original, theContents were printed only at the beginning of the volume, andIllustrations were listed only with their respectivearticles.
