page 105 note * It may be pointed out that the effect on āx would be very considerably greater.
page 106 note * It is only fair to point out also that this difficulty, though it arises in the Makeham curves and others in which μx → ∞, would be avoided by restricting Steffensen's hypothesis to the case in which μ → a reasonable finite limit as x → ∞. For example we might let μ → 1000 in which case ā would → ·001 and a to a very minute quantity, or let μ → 10,000 and ā to ·0001. But this illustrates the essentially artificial nature of the hypothesis.
