Contents of box 5 (mainly offprints of Prior's papers)

This box contains offprints of most of Prior's published papers between 1951 and 1970, with some exceptions. In some cases one finds the typewritten original along with a regular offprint; in a few cases one finds only the typewritten original for a publication; both kinds of cases are indicated in the listing.
The offprints found are listed under (A). An alternative overview stating which publications (as compared with the Øhrstrøm/Flo bibliography) are "missing" in box 5 can also be found here (D).
Moreover, a number of unpublished and other items are found in the box (B below), as well as a folder marked "Unlisted by Flo", containing various minor published items (mainly reviews) not registered in Flo's bibliography (C below).

The most recent items in the list of altogether six references are from 1951. Mary Prior ('BR') has added: "This is a mystery paper as far as I am concerned. I don't remember who Kerr was, and have no memory of the paper being published. I imagine that the results incorporated in it, though new to the authors, had already been discovered and published independently."
