Then the American numbering crept ahead, with the 17th American edition published in 1908, while the 17th British edition was published in 1909.

Thereafter, it was the British numbering that pushed ahead, with the 21st British edition in 1920, and the 21st American edition in 1924. This discrepancy continued to increase, so that the 30th British edition was published in 1949, while the 30th and last American edition was published in 1984.
