Owing to the extreme inaccuracy of Steel's list of losses (in later years especially), and to the circumstance of the annual abstracts having been printed before the errors could conveniently be rectified, this abstract again differs, as well in its total, as in some of its items, from the annual abstract with which it corresponds in date.
