Identifying a section heading

This is at the top of the page, so it isn't obvious whether it's a new Section or just a new paragraph. In such cases, look for similar pages. (On the Project page, click "Images, Pages Proofed, & Differences" then find the page you're formatting, click on a nearby ".png" to see an image, and use the "Prev" / "Next" buttons until you find a similar page.) Elsewhere in the book containing this page, when "References" begins mid-page, it's preceded by extra white space, so this is a new Section, needing 2 blank lines. Also, the "References" Section is in smaller type, so it needs to be enclosed in Block Quotes. (You can't tell that from this cropped example, only by seeing entire pages.)
