[DCRM-L] many, many misnumbered pages

Joan,

At the American Antiquarian Society our standard note is:

Errors in paging: p. 15, 43, 46 misnumbered 51, 45, 47.

Eleven is a lot of misnumbered pages! To make the note more concise, if the errors are consecutive we’d note:

Errors in paging: p. 15, 43-46 misnumbered 51, 45-48.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [DCRM-L] many, many misnumbered pages

Hello everyone,

I need help in phrasing two notes in a more correct and sleek manner. For the first, I currently I have:
          Eleven pages missing: 62, 87, 235-242, 312.
But, the truth is, the 11 pages are not missing, per se, they are misnumbered. That is, the pagination is, for instance:
… 60, 61, 63, 64 …
… 233, 234, 243, 244, 245 ...

In addition, I have:
          Eleven pages misnumbered: 15, 43, 46, 49, 118, 119, 180, 249, 253, 255, 309.
That is, page 15 says “51”; page 43 says “45”; page 46 says “47”; etc.

Should all of this information be in one note?

Thank you,
Joan
