All of the problems reprinted in Scientific American Supplement, i. 105 are faulty with the exception of one; the problem by B. S. Wash in the following issue is also faulty. These faults appear fairly obvious, and while it seems unlikely that Loyd would not have discovered them, it is more likely that any errors appeared during the transcription into enigmas, or perhaps in the typesetting.

The erroneous problems have been omitted. They affect one problem by Mudge, one by Wash, two by Martindale, one by Seymour and two by Hawkins. They have been indicated below by empty diagrams, but with the known stipulation.

The remaining problems are still missing.

None of the information here is directly from the Hartford Sunday Globe, and should therefore be taken with a grain of salt.
