Notes

1

Dr. Bannerman’s dog, mentioned often earlier in the journal. A nine-year-old English setter. According to an entry of May 15, 1951, she was then beginning to go blind. —BLAINE.

2

At this point Dr. Bannerman’s handwriting alters curiously. From here on he used a soft pencil instead of a pen, and the script shows signs of haste. In spite of this, however, it is actually much clearer, steadier, and easier to read than the earlier entries in his normal hand. —BLAINE.

3

In spite of superficial changes in the handwriting, this signature has been certified genuine by an expert graphologist. —BLAINE.

4

Dr. Bannerman’s mother died in 1918 of influenza. His brother (three years older, not younger) died of pneumonia, 1906. —BLAINE.

LIBRARIAN’S NOTE: But it seems he never did. No new edition of Introductory Biology was ever brought out, and the textbook has been out of print since 1952.
