I may have overstepped in saying that Scelorderma's account had made into *The Book of the Long Sun*
and saying that parts of the book were from the pens of others.  What I more precisely meant to convey
was the fact that many parts of the book as written by Horn and Nettle were accounts of events they did
not personally witness, such as the scene with Hare and the eagle that was relayed at some remove by
the kite maker.  I had thought there were portions that had to be cribbed from Scleroderma's account as
well but I have not been able to confirm that having taken the time to look at it.  Maybe someone else can 
recall better than I.  Then of course, there is the added problem of determining whether we are reading Horn
and Nettle's *The Book of the Long Sun* or that guy from Urbasecundus's.  (See *On Blue's Waters*, pg. 51).
