DALQUEST AND E. RAYMOND HALL + + +While one of us (Dalquest) was in a dugout canoe that was being paddled +up a small unnamed tributary of the Rio Coatzacoalcos, through dense +jungle, he grasped a decayed and termite damaged tree-trunk projecting +approximately three feet above the surface of the water to steady the +canoe. At that instant two bats were detected in one of the many small +holes in the trunk, which was eight to nine inches in diameter. It was a +simple matter to enlarge the hole and extract the animals. Superficially +they resembled silvery-haired bats (_Lasionycteris_) but their naked +interfemoral membranes and other features suggested that they belonged +to the genus _Myotis_. Subsequently, study in the laboratory showed this +to be the fact and revealed also that they are of an heretofore unnamed +species which may be known as: + + + #Myotis argentatus#, new species + + _Type._--Male, adult, skin with skull, No. 19228, Mus. Nat. + Hist., Univ. Kansas; 14 kilometers southwest of Coatzocoalcos, + 100 feet elevation, Veracruz, Mexico; 2 February 1947; obtained + by Walter W. Dalquest; original No. 7052. + + _Range._--Known only from the type locality. + + _Diagnosis._--Size medium for the genus (see measurements), tail + short; foot long; ears and membranes black; pelage long (maximum + length on middle of back 9 mm.) and black; upper parts with + overhairs tipped with whitish especially on rump; underparts + from posterior part of thorax posteriorly with all of the hairs + tipped with this same whitish color; skull with preorbital part + small in relation to brain case; teeth small in relation to + total area of palate; brain case much inflated; ventral margin + of foramen magnum evenly rounded. + + _Comparison._--From _Myotis albescens_ (E. Geffroy) known to us + by specimens in the United States National Museum from Paraguay + (Tacural), Panama (Tabernilla), and Nicaragua (Prinzapolca R. + and Escondido R.), _argentatus_ differs in: Body and foot + longer; tail relatively shorter (57 and 58% of length of head + and body versus 76 (62-83)% in _albescens_); tibia shorter; + pelage longer, and black instead of brown; silver tipping of fur + on hinder back markedly more conspicuous; precranial part of + skull, when viewed from above, larger in relation to brain case; + postorbital constriction less abrupt, that is to say, skull + "longer-waisted"; occlusal surfaces of teeth of equal area and + therefore occupying a relatively smaller percentage of total + area of palatal surface; ventral margin of foramen magnum less + deeply indented; ventrally prominent part of basioccipital twice + as wide. + +_Remarks._--The relatively slight wear on the teeth of the female of _M. +argentatus_ and the large ends on the bones of the wings indicate that +it is immature. Its measurements, recorded below, average smaller than +those of the adult holotype, a male, and the silvery tipping on the +upper parts is almost lacking from the pelage which is shorter than in +the holotype. + + [Illustration: FIGS. 1-6. _Myotis_. From left to right, dorsal, + lateral and ventral views. All × 2. + + FIGS. 1-3. _Myotis argentatus_, no. 19228, Univ. Kan. Mus. Nat. + Hist., type. + + FIGS. 4-6. _Myotis albescens_, no. 105664, [F], U. S. Nat. Mus., + from Tacuaral, Paraguay; obtained on November 13, 1900, by Wm. + T. Foster, orig. no. 128.] + +Among at least American kinds of _Myotis_, _argentatus_ is extreme in +small area of occlusal surface of the upper molariform teeth in relation +to the total area of the palatal surface of the skull. _M. albescens_ +previously was regarded as extreme in this feature. The distance across +the third upper molars, from the outside of one tooth to the outside of +the other, is 5.5 mm. in the holotype of _argentatus_ and 5.4 mm. in a +specimen of corresponding age and sex of _albescens_. The distance +between the third upper molars, from the lingual side of one tooth to +the lingual side of the other, is 2.9 mm. in _argentatus_ and 2.8 mm. in +_albescens_. + +In each of our two specimens there is no sagittal crest but instead a +low ridge one millimeter wide which marks the space between the margins +of the two temporal muscles. + +Allusion already has been made to the resemblance of the newly named +_Myotis argentatus_ to the silvery-haired bat, _Lasionycteris +noctivagans_ (LeConte). The whitish tips of the hairs are slightly more +yellowish in _argentatus_ but the difference is so slight as to be +detected by only the most careful comparison. The remainder of the +pelage in _argentatus_ is black as in the darkest individuals of +_Lasionycteris_. + +Among named kinds of the genus _Myotis_, the species _argentatus_ most +closely resembles _Myotis albescens_ which, up to now has been recorded +from as far south as Argentina, in South America, and as far north as +Nicaragua, in Central America (Miller and Allen, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., +144:202, 203, 1928). The differences detected between the two species +are indicated above in the paragraph of comparisons and some other +differences can be detected by comparing measurements given below with +those of _M. albescens_ as recorded by Miller and Allen (_op. cit._: +204-205). In initial comparisons with _albescens_, only Paraguayan +specimens were employed. It was felt that specimens of _albescens_ from +the northernmost localities of occurrence might more closely resemble +_argentatus_. Accordingly, we appealed a second time to Dr. A. R. +Kellogg for comparative material and he lent us the specimens +(alcoholics with skulls separate) in the U. S. National Museum from +Central America. These also differ from our newly named bat in the same +fashion as do the South American specimens. Further, the number and +magnitude of the differences between _albescens_ and _argentatus_ +greatly exceed any that can be pointed to between the American +subspecies of any other one full species of the genus _Myotis_. Full +specific, rather than mere subspecific, status, therefore, is suggested +for the bat here named _Myotis argentatus_. + + _Measurements._--The adult, male type, and the immature female + specimen measure, respectively, as follows: Head and body, 55, + 51 mm.; tail, 32, 29; tibia, 13.7, 13.2; foot, 8, 9; forearm, + 33.0, 34.5; thumb, 5.8, 5.7; third metacarpal, 32.2, 30.5; + fifth metacarpal, 31.5, 30.3; greatest length of skull, 14.5, + 14.0; condylobasal length, 13.8, 13.0; zygomatic breadth, 9.1, + 9.0; interorbital constriction, 4.3, 4.0; breadth of brain case, + 7.5, 7.4; occipital depth, 5.7, 5.7; mandible, 10.5, 10.0; + maxillary tooth row, 5.3, 5.0; maxillary breadth at M3, 5.5, + 5.7; mandibular tooth row, 5.6, 5.3. + + _Specimens examined._--Two, from the type locality. + + _Transmitted October 20, 1947._ + + + FOOTNOTE + + [1] Assistance with field work is acknowledged from the University + of Kansas Endowment Association. + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of A New Bat (Genus Myotis) From Mexico, by +Walter W.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/34303-8.zip b/34303-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..64ba700 --- /dev/null +++ b/34303-8.zip diff --git a/34303-h.zip b/34303-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..dbe5ae8 --- /dev/null +++ b/34303-h.zip diff --git a/34303-h/34303-h.htm b/34303-h/34303-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f8c6354 --- /dev/null +++ b/34303-h/34303-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,666 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> + +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> + <head> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" /> + <title> + The Project Gutenberg eBook of A New Bat (Genus Myotis) From Mexico, by Walter W.

DALQUEST AND E. RAYMOND HALL</h3> + + +<p>While one of us (Dalquest) was in a dugout canoe that was being +paddled up a small unnamed tributary of the Rio Coatzacoalcos, +through dense jungle, he grasped a decayed and termite damaged +tree-trunk projecting approximately three feet above the surface of +the water to steady the canoe. At that instant two bats were detected +in one of the many small holes in the trunk, which was eight +to nine inches in diameter. It was a simple matter to enlarge the +hole and extract the animals. Superficially they resembled silvery-haired +bats (<i>Lasionycteris</i>) but their naked interfemoral membranes +and other features suggested that they belonged to the genus <i>Myotis</i>. +Subsequently, study in the laboratory showed this to be the fact and +revealed also that they are of an heretofore unnamed species which +may be known as:</p> + + +<p class="center"><b>Myotis argentatus</b>, new species</p> + +<div class="blockquot"><p><i>Type.</i>—Male, adult, skin with skull, No. 19228, Mus. Nat. Hist., Univ. Kansas; +14 kilometers southwest of Coatzocoalcos, 100 feet elevation, Veracruz, +Mexico; 2 February 1947; obtained by Walter W. Dalquest; original No. 7052.</p> + +<p><i>Range.</i>—Known only from the type locality.</p> + +<p><i>Diagnosis.</i>—Size medium for the genus (see measurements), tail short; foot +long; ears and membranes black; pelage long (maximum length on middle of +back 9 mm.) and black; upper parts with overhairs tipped with whitish especially +on rump; underparts from posterior part of thorax posteriorly with +all of the hairs tipped with this same whitish color; skull with preorbital part +small in relation to brain case; teeth small in relation to total area of palate; +brain case much inflated; ventral margin of foramen magnum evenly rounded.</p> + +<p><i>Comparison.</i>—From <i>Myotis albescens</i> (E. Geffroy) known to us by specimens +in the United States National Museum from Paraguay (Tacural), Panama +(Tabernilla), and Nicaragua (Prinzapolca R. and Escondido R.), <i>argentatus</i> +differs in: Body and foot longer; tail relatively shorter (57 and 58% of +length of head and body versus 76 (62-83)% in <i>albescens</i>); tibia shorter; +pelage longer, and black instead of brown; silver tipping of fur on hinder +back markedly more conspicuous; precranial part of skull, when viewed from +above, larger in relation to brain case; postorbital constriction less abrupt, +that is to say, skull "longer-waisted"; occlusal surfaces of teeth of equal area +and therefore occupying a relatively smaller percentage of total area of palatal +surface; ventral margin of foramen magnum less deeply indented; ventrally +prominent part of basioccipital twice as wide.</p></div> + +<p><span class='pagenum'>(240)</span></p> + +<p><i>Remarks.</i>—The relatively slight wear on the teeth of the female +of <i>M. argentatus</i> and the large ends on the bones of the wings indicate +that it is immature. Its measurements, recorded below, average +smaller than those of the adult holotype, a male, and the silvery +tipping on the upper parts is almost lacking from the pelage which +is shorter than in the holotype.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 768px;"> +<img src="images/i004.jpg" alt="Figs. 1-6." title="Figs. 1-6." /> +<span class="caption"><span class="smcap">Figs. 1-6.</span> <i>Myotis</i>.

Foster, orig. no. 128. +</span> +</div> + +<p>Among at least American kinds of <i>Myotis</i>, <i>argentatus</i> is extreme +in small area of occlusal surface of the upper molariform teeth in +relation to the total area of the palatal surface of the skull. <i>M. albescens</i> +previously was regarded as extreme in this feature. The +distance across the third upper molars, from the outside of one tooth +<span class='pagenum'>(241)</span> +to the outside of the other, is 5.5 mm. in the holotype of <i>argentatus</i> +and 5.4 mm. in a specimen of corresponding age and sex of <i>albescens</i>. +The distance between the third upper molars, from the lingual side +of one tooth to the lingual side of the other, is 2.9 mm. in <i>argentatus</i> +and 2.8 mm. in <i>albescens</i>.</p> + +<p>In each of our two specimens there is no sagittal crest but instead +a low ridge one millimeter wide which marks the space between the +margins of the two temporal muscles.</p> + +<p>Allusion already has been made to the resemblance of the newly +named <i>Myotis argentatus</i> to the silvery-haired bat, <i>Lasionycteris +noctivagans</i> (LeConte). The whitish tips of the hairs are slightly +more yellowish in <i>argentatus</i> but the difference is so slight as to be +detected by only the most careful comparison. The remainder of +the pelage in <i>argentatus</i> is black as in the darkest individuals of +<i>Lasionycteris</i>.</p> + +<p>Among named kinds of the genus <i>Myotis</i>, the species <i>argentatus</i> +most closely resembles <i>Myotis albescens</i> which, up to now has been +recorded from as far south as Argentina, in South America, and as +far north as Nicaragua, in Central America (Miller and Allen, Bull. +U. S. Nat. Mus., 144:202, 203, 1928). The differences detected between +the two species are indicated above in the paragraph of comparisons +and some other differences can be detected by comparing +measurements given below with those of <i>M. albescens</i> as recorded +by Miller and Allen (<i>op. cit.</i>: 204-205). In initial comparisons with +<i>albescens</i>, only Paraguayan specimens were employed. It was felt +that specimens of <i>albescens</i> from the northernmost localities of occurrence +might more closely resemble <i>argentatus</i>. Accordingly, we +appealed a second time to Dr. A. R. Kellogg for comparative material +and he lent us the specimens (alcoholics with skulls separate) +in the U. S. National Museum from Central America. These also +differ from our newly named bat in the same fashion as do the +South American specimens. Further, the number and magnitude of +the differences between <i>albescens</i> and <i>argentatus</i> greatly exceed any +that can be pointed to between the American subspecies of any other +one full species of the genus <i>Myotis</i>. Full specific, rather than mere +subspecific, status, therefore, is suggested for the bat here named +<i>Myotis argentatus</i>.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'>(242)</span></p> + +<div class="blockquot"><p><i>Measurements.</i>—The adult, male type, and the immature female specimen +measure, respectively, as follows: Head and body, 55, 51 mm.; tail, 32, +29; tibia, 13.7, 13.2; foot, 8, 9; forearm, 33.0, 34.5; thumb, 5.8, 5.7; third metacarpal, +32.2, 30.5; fifth metacarpal, 31.5, 30.3; greatest length of skull, 14.5, +14.0; condylobasal length, 13.8, 13.0; zygomatic breadth, 9.1, 9.0; interorbital +constriction, 4.3, 4.0; breadth of brain case, 7.5, 7.4; occipital depth, 5.7, 5.7; +mandible, 10.5, 10.0; maxillary tooth row, 5.3, 5.0; maxillary breadth at M3, +5.5, 5.7; mandibular tooth row, 5.6, 5.3.</p> + +<p><i>Specimens examined.</i>—Two, from the type locality.</p></div> + +<p> <i>Transmitted October 20, 1947.</i></p> + +<div class="footnotes"> +<h4>FOOTNOTE</h4> +<div class="footnote"><p><a name="Footnote_A_1" id="Footnote_A_1"></a><a href="#FNanchor_A_1"><span class="label">[A]</span></a> Assistance with field work is acknowledged from the University of Kansas Endowment +Association.</p></div> +</div> + + + + + + + + +<pre> + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of A New Bat (Genus Myotis) From Mexico, by +Walter W.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/34303-h/images/i004.jpg b/34303-h/images/i004.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b3c3037 --- /dev/null +++ b/34303-h/images/i004.jpg diff --git a/34303.txt b/34303.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..7ce4087 --- /dev/null +++ b/34303.txt @@ -0,0 +1,586 @@ +The Project Gutenberg EBook of A New Bat (Genus Myotis) From Mexico, by +Walter W.

Subsequently, study in the laboratory showed this +to be the fact and revealed also that they are of an heretofore unnamed +species which may be known as: + + + #Myotis argentatus#, new species + + _Type._--Male, adult, skin with skull, No. 19228, Mus. Nat. + Hist., Univ. Kansas; 14 kilometers southwest of Coatzocoalcos, + 100 feet elevation, Veracruz, Mexico; 2 February 1947; obtained + by Walter W. Dalquest; original No. 7052. + + _Range._--Known only from the type locality. + + _Diagnosis._--Size medium for the genus (see measurements), tail + short; foot long; ears and membranes black; pelage long (maximum + length on middle of back 9 mm.) and black; upper parts with + overhairs tipped with whitish especially on rump; underparts + from posterior part of thorax posteriorly with all of the hairs + tipped with this same whitish color; skull with preorbital part + small in relation to brain case; teeth small in relation to + total area of palate; brain case much inflated; ventral margin + of foramen magnum evenly rounded. + + _Comparison._--From _Myotis albescens_ (E. Geffroy) known to us + by specimens in the United States National Museum from Paraguay + (Tacural), Panama (Tabernilla), and Nicaragua (Prinzapolca R. + and Escondido R.), _argentatus_ differs in: Body and foot + longer; tail relatively shorter (57 and 58% of length of head + and body versus 76 (62-83)% in _albescens_); tibia shorter; + pelage longer, and black instead of brown; silver tipping of fur + on hinder back markedly more conspicuous; precranial part of + skull, when viewed from above, larger in relation to brain case; + postorbital constriction less abrupt, that is to say, skull + "longer-waisted"; occlusal surfaces of teeth of equal area and + therefore occupying a relatively smaller percentage of total + area of palatal surface; ventral margin of foramen magnum less + deeply indented; ventrally prominent part of basioccipital twice + as wide. + +_Remarks._--The relatively slight wear on the teeth of the female of _M. +argentatus_ and the large ends on the bones of the wings indicate that +it is immature. Its measurements, recorded below, average smaller than +those of the adult holotype, a male, and the silvery tipping on the +upper parts is almost lacking from the pelage which is shorter than in +the holotype. + + [Illustration: FIGS. 1-6. _Myotis_. From left to right, dorsal, + lateral and ventral views. All x 2. + + FIGS. 1-3. _Myotis argentatus_, no. 19228, Univ. Kan. Mus. Nat. + Hist., type. + + FIGS. 4-6. _Myotis albescens_, no. 105664, [F], U. S. Nat. Mus., + from Tacuaral, Paraguay; obtained on November 13, 1900, by Wm. + T. Foster, orig. no. 128.] + +Among at least American kinds of _Myotis_, _argentatus_ is extreme in +small area of occlusal surface of the upper molariform teeth in relation +to the total area of the palatal surface of the skull. _M. albescens_ +previously was regarded as extreme in this feature. The distance across +the third upper molars, from the outside of one tooth to the outside of +the other, is 5.5 mm. in the holotype of _argentatus_ and 5.4 mm. in a +specimen of corresponding age and sex of _albescens_. The distance +between the third upper molars, from the lingual side of one tooth to +the lingual side of the other, is 2.9 mm. in _argentatus_ and 2.8 mm. in +_albescens_. + +In each of our two specimens there is no sagittal crest but instead a +low ridge one millimeter wide which marks the space between the margins +of the two temporal muscles. + +Allusion already has been made to the resemblance of the newly named +_Myotis argentatus_ to the silvery-haired bat, _Lasionycteris +noctivagans_ (LeConte). The whitish tips of the hairs are slightly more +yellowish in _argentatus_ but the difference is so slight as to be +detected by only the most careful comparison. The remainder of the +pelage in _argentatus_ is black as in the darkest individuals of +_Lasionycteris_. + +Among named kinds of the genus _Myotis_, the species _argentatus_ most +closely resembles _Myotis albescens_ which, up to now has been recorded +from as far south as Argentina, in South America, and as far north as +Nicaragua, in Central America (Miller and Allen, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., +144:202, 203, 1928). The differences detected between the two species +are indicated above in the paragraph of comparisons and some other +differences can be detected by comparing measurements given below with +those of _M. albescens_ as recorded by Miller and Allen (_op. cit._: +204-205). In initial comparisons with _albescens_, only Paraguayan +specimens were employed. It was felt that specimens of _albescens_ from +the northernmost localities of occurrence might more closely resemble +_argentatus_. Accordingly, we appealed a second time to Dr. A. R. +Kellogg for comparative material and he lent us the specimens +(alcoholics with skulls separate) in the U. S. National Museum from +Central America. These also differ from our newly named bat in the same +fashion as do the South American specimens. Further, the number and +magnitude of the differences between _albescens_ and _argentatus_ +greatly exceed any that can be pointed to between the American +subspecies of any other one full species of the genus _Myotis_. Full +specific, rather than mere subspecific, status, therefore, is suggested +for the bat here named _Myotis argentatus_. + + _Measurements._--The adult, male type, and the immature female + specimen measure, respectively, as follows: Head and body, 55, + 51 mm.; tail, 32, 29; tibia, 13.7, 13.2; foot, 8, 9; forearm, + 33.0, 34.5; thumb, 5.8, 5.7; third metacarpal, 32.2, 30.5; + fifth metacarpal, 31.5, 30.3; greatest length of skull, 14.5, + 14.0; condylobasal length, 13.8, 13.0; zygomatic breadth, 9.1, + 9.0; interorbital constriction, 4.3, 4.0; breadth of brain case, + 7.5, 7.4; occipital depth, 5.7, 5.7; mandible, 10.5, 10.0; + maxillary tooth row, 5.3, 5.0; maxillary breadth at M3, 5.5, + 5.7; mandibular tooth row, 5.6, 5.3. + + _Specimens examined._--Two, from the type locality. + + _Transmitted October 20, 1947._ + + + FOOTNOTE + + [1] Assistance with field work is acknowledged from the University + of Kansas Endowment Association. + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of A New Bat (Genus Myotis) From Mexico, by +Walter W.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/34303.zip b/34303.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..9033133 --- /dev/null +++ b/34303.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
