To cover a wide range of references we have introduced an alphabetical plan for abbreviations. We have divided it into the following six Series :

(I) From A to Z

(II) A to Z with combination of x.

(III) A to Z with combination of y.

(IV) A to Z with combination of z.

(V) A to Z with combination of g.

(VI) A to Z with combination of J. (for Journals)

During the process of the work, however, we could not avoid repetition and so as to avoid confusion, we have made use of numbers l and 2 after the brackets. These inconsistencies are :

1. (Dx)1 and (Dx)2 after Dx.

2. (Ox)1 after Ox.

3. (Zx)1 after Zx.

4. (Zy)1 after Zy.

5. (Kz)1 and (Kz)2 after Kz.
