Publication date
The story ends on page 185. Page 186 is not numbered but contains an advertisement for twelve Conan series books. There is a "73" in the lower right corner of this advertisement which is the ad number, not a year. This ad appeared in Ace editions in 77/78 only. To help date the The Winds of Darkover publication here are the publications that are advertised on the unnumbered page 186:

The Ace $1.50 edition contains advertisement #70A, meaning the date for the $1.75 publication is after 1977-06-00 which is the $1.50 edition and before 1980-04-00 which is the $1.95 edition. As a result, this publication has been tentatively dated as 1978-00-00.
