Transcriber's Notes
The illustration captions have been rearranged so they are listed in order of picture layout.
There were quite a few minor punctuation corrections made that are not detailed here. Several words were shown both with a hyphen and without (ex., seaside and sea-side) and with diacritical accents and not. For each the most frequently used variation was usually adopted. Some quoted passages have words that appear to be typos (ex., Dottrels p. 224); but were left unchanged as that was or may have been the way they were originally spelt in the text from which it is quoted. In the Glossary, several entries were out of alphabetical order and were moved to the correct location.
The PODICIPEDIDÆ section (Page 300) was missing the word FAMILY from the title unlike every other listing. As most of the species names in the text are shown in ALLCAPS, those few shown as small caps were converted to ALLCAPS. The listings for the Sub-Family Iynginæ and the species Iynx show a diaresis (double dots) above the letter y. This was converted to the letter y. Formatting of references to similar Family or Genus names were standardized to the most prevalent form.
