[4] None of issues 2 to XV is dated; clearly it was weekly for a while but publication became irregular at some point, since there are 20 and not 14 whole weeks separating Aug. 7th from  Sat. Jan 1st. My best guess is that issue 2 appeared on Aug. 14th and it appeared weekly thereafter until No. X, Oct. 9th, then fortnightly thereafter until its conclusion.
