    • In the ToC, the story "Prince Elmedorus and the Princess Alzayda" is incorrectly listed as "Prince Elmedorus and the Prince Alzayda". There are often minor spelling disagreements between the names in the ToC and those at the story. The running titles are occasionally substantially different than the story heading titles, and some sources list the stories by those running header names.
