Editor’s Note: In preparing the following report, many of the sections have had to be written on the basis of notes supplied by two or three separate investigators. Although in these cases the names of the people supplying the basic notes have been put down as “authors” of the section, it has not, in every case, been possible for them to see and approve the final document. Every effort has, however, been made to include all the information obtained and to keep as closely as possible to the tone of the individual notes.
