According to Stefan Dziemianowicz in the introduction to the Hippocampus Press edition:
The Hippocampus Press edition follows the text of the original serial publication.
The serial version in "Science and Invention" is at least 20% shorter.
The version for the "Famous Fantastic Mysteries" appearance was revised by Merritt and is about 10% shorter than the serial version. This is Merritt's preferred text. Most subsequent book publications are based upon this version.
