When searching this index, click on the appropriate letter on the letter bar above. This
will take you to that section of the bibliography. Clicking on the letter
at the start of the section returns you to the letter bar. Every page has
a link back to the letter bar. This is marked 'return' and can be used
instead of the 'back' command on your web-browser, if you wish.
The print version of this section of the bibliography was published in
January 1978 by Peter Roberts. This version incorporates corrections and
additions, both those assembled by Roberts and those gleaned by Hansen from
other sources. Further corrections are, of
course, welcomed. OCR scanning of printed version courtesy of Mark
Plummer.
