^{Note 10 in page 1182} Perhaps it should be noted that a mark of X occurs between the lines for April 13 and 14, 1818. It is not in the usual conspicuous position immediately preceding the date and does not seem like the later marks; it may well have been a casual scratching with no significance. If it has any significance, it fits the regular pattern of menstrual illnesses, for the time between April 14 and December 27 may satisfactorily be divided into four periods of twenty-eight days each, and five of twenty-nine.
