Supporting Materials

In this section I plan to begin the type of treatment which I shall use throughout the remainder of this series, that of presenting a mass of detail which fills out, illustrates, and supports the more general discussion which has preceded it. I feel that an appendix does violence to the spirit of a scientific paper in which the reader may be assumed to be interested in the finer detail, as well as in the rough generalization, and in which it is desirable to preserve a formal and structural relationship between the raw data and the abstractions drawn from it. The reader not interested in those particular materials can omit them without loss of continuity to the beginning of the next section.
