....monograph on topology [Lis47] Tait began a systematic study of knots in a series of papers starting in 1877 [Tai98] At this point it became clear that it would be desirable to have a table of knots. In 1885 Little published his attempt at enumerating all knots with at most ten crossings [Lit85] This table had several errors but led to a collaboration with Tait and Kirkman, who had been working independently on knot tabulation. After years of e ort they completed the tables to ten crossings and had made progress on the eleven crossing knots. Knot tabulation continues to this day; ....

....of knots to Riemann s surfaces. Tait, in collaboration with Reverend Thomas Penyngton Kirkman (1806 1895) and independently Charles Newton Little 17 , made a considerable progress on the enumeration problem so that by 1900 there were in existence tables of (prime) knots up to ten crossings [111, 68, 74, 75]. These tables were partially extended in M.G. Haseman s doctoral dissertation of 1916 18 , 51] Knots up to 11 crossings were enumerated by John H. Conway [24] before 1969 19 . 14 Library of the University of California has a copy of Vorstudien zur Topologie which Listing sent to Tait with ....
