Note
  • Date of publication from Muir and Sadleir; cf. also The English catalogue of books, IV, p. 164.
  • "The editor is able to include several striking stories ... by a member of a distinguished family, Mr. A. Conan Doyle ... distinguished by the [delta] affixed to them"--Preface, v. 1, p. viii. Contains 5 stories by Doyle: "J. Habakuk Jephson's statement," "The great Keinplatz experiment," "The mystery of Sasassa Valley," "The captain of the 'Pole-Star'" and "John Barrington Cowles."
