Source-date scope
Prior observations retained at their original source dates; not freshly researched for this 193-member expansion.
Rights and reuse
Public download links are not permission to republish. Link out and verify selected material's rights before reuse.

Unknown is not a claim that access is unavailable, paid or free. Registration and price are separate. A listed edition or a source-check date does not establish operational currentness.
