1  Mass errors enlarged by us to $\Gamma /\sqrt {\mathit N }$; see the note with the ${{\mathit K}^{*}{(892)}}$ mass.
2  Phase shift analysis. Systematic errors added corresponding to spread of different fits.
3  From fit of 3-parameter relativistic ${\mathit P}{\mathrm -wave}$ Breit-Wigner to total mass distribution. Includes BATON 1968, MILLER 1967B, ALFF-STEINBERGER 1966, HAGOPIAN 1966, HAGOPIAN 1966B, JACOBS 1966B, JAMES 1966, WEST 1966, BLIEDEN 1965 and CARMONY 1964.
