The manuscript is intended to be complete, with the arrow indicating the position of the figures. Suggests omitting a section, but does not matter if this has already been included for printing, although some of the figures will require correcting. Describes a diagram included to show the experiments. Asks whether it would be right to give the full experimental details.
