INDEX TO ORAL ARGUMENTS.*
EXPLANATORY NOTE.-Abbreviations used: U. S. C., United States Case; U.S. C.
Ap., United States Case Appendix; U. S. C. C., United States Counter-Case;
U. S. C. C. Ap., United States Counter-Case Appendix; U. S. A., United States
Argument (printed); and similar abbreviations in the case of the British pleadings,
using "B." instead of "U. S.," as, B. C. Ap., etc. The abbreviation O. A. Ap.
refers to the appendices to the oral argument which are printed in the first part of this
volume.
In indexing a reference to a document, or statement in any of the above volumes,
the page reference is given in italics, as B. C. Ap. 59, followed by the page reference
in Roman to the oral argument where the documents mentioned are discussed.
All page references whether italicised or in Roman refer to the paging of the present
publication with the exception of references to the B. C. Ap., B. C. C. Ap., and
B. A., which are given as in the original print; this original paging appears inset in
the margin of this publication. This variation was made because the page references
used by the speakers themselves in the oral argument refer to the documents then
before them, i. e., the original print, which, in the case of the British documents,
did not bear the same page numbers as are given them in this publication.
In indexing references to treaties, where the names of the contracting nations are
not given it is to be understood that they were Great Britain and the United States.
Where a reference is made in general terms to "the treaty," it is to be understood
that the treaty of 1818 between the United States and Great Britain is referred to.
The word "American" has been frequently substituted for the words "United
States" when used as an adjective.
Where questions were asked or remarks made by members of the tribunal, this is
indicated by inserting in the reference to the topic under discussion the name of the
arbitrator in conspicuous type, thus-LAMMASCH.
References to international law writers give the name of the author, followed by a
reference in italics to his work, the subject discussed, and page reference to the oral
argument where the author is referred to.
References to Fiore are given to two of his works indicated by C. (Le Droit Inter-
national Codifié), and T. (Nouveau Droit International Public); and likewise to two
works of Calvo, indicated by D. (Dictionnaire de Droit International), and T. (Le
Droit International).
