Supplemental Index Since formal entries in this encyclopedia are arranged alphabetically, they are rarely listed in the Supplemental Index. Rather, this calls attention to names and subjects appearing incidentally, to sup plement the biographies. The Index also includes names of numerous individuals not given formal attention in the body of the work, while the subject listings may assist the rounding out of information about significant or interesting incidents, themes or activities.
