This was produced from a copy o f a document sent to us fo r microfilming.While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality o f the material submitted.The following explanation o f techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction.1.The sign or "target" fo r pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is " Missing Page(s)" .If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages.This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you o f complete continuity.2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because o f movement during exposure, or duplicate copy.Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been film ed, you will find a good image o f the page in the adjacent frame.If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame.3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part o f the material being photo graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material.It is customary to begin film ing at the upper le ft hand corner o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps.If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.
