Kitajgorodskij's categorization of the triclinic, monoclinic and orthorhombic space groups, as modified by Wilson (1993a[link])

Wilson's additions are enclosed in square brackets [⋯] and the original positions of space groups transferred by him by round brackets (⋯). Space groups not listed belong to the `impossible' category.

Kitajgorodskij (1961[link]) includes Pnnm at this position, but this is inconsistent with the text of either the Russian or the English version.
Kitajgorodskij (1961[link]) correctly includes Pbcm at this position.
