Notes
 Explanation
1
 These two sources are actually listed in Excursus Patrick at Source 96 and Source 97; use them to check the validity of my correlations.
2
 Excursus Gilbert had a long list of source references denoted simply, "H-2."  These were clarified in these handwritten pages: 01; 02; 03; 04.
The handwritten source records correlate to the list here in Excursus Gilbert.  That adds another twenty-four Holmes Data Bank pages to my wish list: H-4,8,9,10,14,21,24,25,27,29,32,34,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,47,49,51,52; I have fixed Excursus Gilbert accordingly - GL,III, ed.
3
 This is "Margaret M. Curnow: Letter, 5 Aug.1979, to GL,Jr." in the sources list, but I do not know where the letter might be located - GL,III, ed.
4
 Nearly all the Holmes Data Bank pages refer to Excursus Gilbert; other Data Banks have cross references as well - GL,III, ed.
