While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality 01'1 the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following expl~nation of Itechniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which mar appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or ~'target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they arel spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have nece~sitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continu~ty. 2. When an imag~ on the filp1 is obliterated with a round black marko, it is an indication of either bluned copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrigttted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, .a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted mflterials werel deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent fn.lme. I 3. When a map, qrawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite me~hod of "sectioning" the material has been followed. It is customary to t~egin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is c~mtinued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. I 4. For illustrations that cam not be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prin~s can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerqgraphic copy. These prints are available upon request from the Dissertations Customer Ser:vices Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy p.as been filmed. University Micrc5films International 300 N.
