Georgia,

You're correct, the #'s do refer to footnotes. My edition is
published by Leduc. The publisher of your edition decided to save money (by
the sound of it) and not use the larger ("French size") paper. Though why
they didn't reduce it is beyond me. Anyway, I'd tell them you want a proper
copy. The address of Alfred Publishing Co. is:
Alfred Publishing Co.
16380 Roscoe Blvd.
Box 10003
Van Nuys, CA 91410-0003

You can phone them at: 818-891-5999
Fax (to fax them a page of your incomplete part): 818-891-2182

Hope this helps.
