The name of the place is followed by the name of the country or state, the population, the index references and the
plate number. The index references indicate the location of the place on the accompanying maps; these references
show the point on the map at which lines will converge if drawn to connect the respective marginal letters upon top and
bottom and the numerals on either side of map. Places known under ditieient names or by various spellings of the same
name in different forms have, to some extent, been inserted in parenthesis. Capitals of countries and states are desig-
nated by asterisks*. Populations of cities including suburbs are designated by daggers!. Index of cities and towns
of United States of America will be found on pages 142 to 159, inclusive. .
