     Foam::PtrList
 
 Description
-    A templated 1D list of pointers to objects of type \<T\>, where the
-    size of the array is known and used for subscript bounds checking, etc.
+    A list of pointers to objects of type \<T\>, with allocation/deallocation
+    management of the pointers.
+    The operator[] returns a reference to the object, not the pointer.
 
-    The element operator [] returns a reference to the object rather than a

     Foam::UPtrList
 
 Description
-    A templated 1D list of pointers to objects of type \<T\>, where the
-    size of the array is known and used for subscript bounds checking, etc.
+    A list of pointers to objects of type \<T\>, without allocation/deallocation
+    management of the pointers - this is to be done elsewhere.
+    The operator[] returns a reference to the object, not the pointer.
 
-    The element operator [] returns a reference to the object rather than a
-    pointer.  Storage is not allocated during construction or use but is
-    supplied to the constructor as an argument.
