Typo in the August 1921 National Geographic
Typo in the August 1921 National Geographic
In the August 1921 issue of the National Geographic there is a typo on page 217. The word "larval" is misspelled "arval". Not only that, the word is the first on a line and an l-sized spacer was typeset in its place. (See the photo of the mistake.)
I was curious as to whether this mistake was ever caught and corrected. If anyone has the August 1921 issue, please check page 217 and let me know if it has the typo or a correction. Thanks in advance for your help.
Yours in Collecting,

Tom,
Both of my copies have the typo - looks like the "l" was missed...

Hello,
My reference copy is missing the "l."
