[Footnote 1: Among the papers held by Dr. Gould is a memorandum of some
of the "Fantastics," thus numbered:
1. Aïda.
2. Hiouen-Thsang.
3. El Vómito.
4. The Devil's Carbuncle.
5. A Hemisphere in a Woman's Hair.
6. The Clock.
7. The Fool and Venus.
8. The Stranger.
Two of these--"Aïda" and "Hiouen-Thsang"--were published under those
titles. Some of the others we think we have identified among the pieces
entitled simply "Fantastics" at the time of their publication. "The
Fool and Venus" may have been meant for what we ave called "Aphrodite
and the King's Prisoner." "The Clock" we have not found.]
