    2020-05-09 Story titles imported from 2011 Complete Short Story Omnibus. Story title discrepancies as fashioned at Locus: "Mr." (the first four of five "Mr" stories), "Judgement", and two short titles (697, 806). That is, Locus lists only one colon-and-subtitle story (222 · In the Modern Vein), not three. Locus style is silent on the inconsistent use of quotation marks in the last two titles (Wells introductions).

    Page numbers transcribed from Locus list of 1998 contents.
