The series title was "The Si-Fan Mysteries" in all its serializations.
1 An initial "The" is added to the title and in the case of Shrine, the second "the" is dropped: "The Shrine of Seven Lamps."
2 "The Zagazig Cryptogram" was the subject of "ZAGAZIG,"an article by Jeffrey N. Weiss, in The Rohmer Review n° 4. His analysis sparked two responses that appeared in The Rohmer Review n° 5: "The Zagazig Code" by Evelyn Herzog and "Zagazig Revisited" by Julian L. Biggers.
3 The Chums episode was titled "A Story of Greywater Park" instead of "The Black Chapel."
The Collier's episodes marked * did not carry the series title.
Chums was a weekly British boys' paper; groups of 4 or 5 consecutive issues were bound together (with a new cover) and reissued monthly. The year's issues were also released in an annual bound volume. Serial installments were printed in an 8-page center section of each weekly issue, paginated separately (with Roman numerals) from the rest of the issue. These serial inserts were included in the monthly reprints, but were generally omitted from the annual bound volumes.
In the Chums reprint of The Si-Fan Mysteries, the second episode carried only the series titles, not the story title, "Zarmi of the Joy-Shop."
