The first publication dates refer to the first or only magazine listed for each story. Where a second magazine is listed, publication dates can range from the same month to several months later. As is shown, of the 60 stories, 58 of them appeared in The Strand Magazine.Titles with a blue background appeared in The Strand Magazine as Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Titles with a green background appeared in The Strand Magazine as The Return of Sherlock Holmes. The date of 1892 given by Watson for WIST conflicts with what is told in EMPT.In THOR, the next published story after the two narrated anonymously, Watson claimed authorship of them: "In some I was myself concerned and can speak as an eye-witness, while in others I was either not present or played so small a part that they could only be told as by a third person."
