2. p. 6: Die positions are indicated by arrows. Public collections are indicated by city name (London = British Museum, Paris = Bibliothèque Nationale).
3. p. 109, no. 115 (Series V): Reverse: ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ on right, ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΟΥ on left, nude Poseidon standing left, right foot on rock, holding trident in left hand. Obverse dies CI–CVII, reverse dies 190–197. Reverse die 197 is listed under both obverse dies CVI and CVII.
4. p. 111: Regarding the silver coins of Series V, "twelve new obverse dies, thirty-three reverse dies, and actual specimens amounting to forty-four pieces."
5. p. 111, no. 120 (Series VI, circa 289—Autumn of 288 B.C.): Obverse: Head of the young Demetrius right, wearing diadem and bull's horn, within a circle of dots. Reverse: Nude Poseidon standing left, holding trident in left hand, right foot on rock. Obverse dies CXIII–, reverse dies 223–.

7. p. 112, no. 123: 'CXIII.—239. (with [monogram] recut over [monogram])'—The monogram on the reverse die has been recut. In no. 121, reverse die 230 is listed under CXVIII and CXIX; in no. 123, reverse die 241 is listed under CXV and CXXIV.
8. p. 114: 'Series VI appears to be the largest single issue ever put forth in the name of Demetrius. No less than nineteen obverse and fifty-one reverse dies, as well as sixty-seven actual specimens, are known to us'. States that new specimens are appearing daily and the numbers will increase in the future.
9. p. 114: Considers the last obverse dies (CXXX–CXXXI) to be of the poorest style, engraved in the hectic weeks at the end of the reign when Lysimachus and Pyrrhus were closing in. States that one specimen from the Hermitage, Plate XIII, 12, is of crude style and would not be included in the main catalog until seen in person.
10. p. 115: Explains that the silver coins of Amphipolis are consistently larger than those of Pella because of the proximity of the silver mines around Mount Pangaion and Stageira.
11. pp. 116–117: Concludes that the two groups, nos. 65–92 and 93–124, differ from others in style and workmanship, are the largest and most continuous, and were issued by the two mints of Pella and Amphipolis. Demetrius held Pella and Amphipolis from 294 B.C. to the autumn of 288 B.C.
12. pp. 117–118: A hoard reportedly from the vicinity of Salonica (Walla's price list 1897–8) included seven tetradrachms of Demetrius, among them Amphipolis nos. 111 or 116, and 112 or 119 or 120.
13. p. 165: A hoard from Sparta included two tetradrachms from Amphipolis (nos. 115, 124); a hoard from Epidauros included Amphipolis nos. 94, 110, 124.
14. p. 169 (summary): From around 292 B.C., the obverse of tetradrachms features Demetrius's own portrait, and the reverse shows a seated Poseidon, later a standing Poseidon. The output from Pella and Amphipolis continued to increase, and the remaining mints also came to strike only his types.
