Does it have the plates? There is a long list of names at the end, maybe that's them.

God sometimes I love the internet. I can only imagine how hard it was to do scientific research before, when the journals were all paper and you had to get the library to search articles for you. Now it takes me a few minutes to access anything. Or most of it at least. We have to work on that.

Downloaded (finally) and looked thru all 1000 pages - no plates! Why wouldn't they scan those too? Just because its not amenable to OCR? Sigh.
