The Clarke Estate is currently managed by Christopher Johnson, P.O. Box 343, New York, NY 10156 and Oxford University Press, New York. I acknowledge the valuable contribution made by Johnson in 1977, when he catalogued Clarke's works in consultation with her. I have tried to verify this catalogue where possible, and have made emendations and additions.
