When year of collection z differs from year of measurement y, either AS or ASN should be replaced by respectively ASeλ(y-z),ASNeλ(y-z) or AS and ASN kept unchanged but oxalic acid corrected for decay between year of collection and 1950 only. This procedure is applicable only when marked in the table by an asterisk.
