Details
The original Nile river data supplied by Beran only contained only 500 observations (622 to 1121). However, the book claimed to have 660 observations (622 to 1281). The remaining observations from the book were added, by hand, but the series still only contained 653 observations (622 to 1264).
Note, now the data consists of 663 observations (spanning the years 622-1284) as in original source (Toussoun, 1925).
