+----------------------------------------------------------------- + | Transcriber's Note: | | | | Obvious punctuation and spelling errors repaired. | | Word combinations that appeared with and without hyphens | | were changed to the predominant hyphenated form. | | Original spelling and its variations were not standardized. | | | | Corrections in the spelling of names were made when those | | could be verified. Otherwise the variations were left as they | | were. | | | | Page 18: "Parrot-houses, the, sometimes...." changed to | | "Parrot-houses: they sometimes contain...." | | | | Page 170 and others: Kolobeng and Kolenbeng. Both spellings were | | retained. | | | | Page 191 and others: Tussa, tussack and tussock. All spellings | | were retained. | | | | Page 276: Finisterre changed to Finistère. | | | | Page 333: cennexion changed to connexion "... in connexion with | | the river Lee...." | | | | Page 352: Screw-pines, Crab climbing, 295; pagination changed | | to 298. | | | | The name of Shakespeare appears with varying spellings. All | | variants were kept. | | | | Some index entries are not in alphabetical order. They were not | | corrected. | | | | Footnotes were moved to the ends of the chapters in which they | | belonged and numbered in one continuous sequence. The | | pagination in index entries which referred to these footnotes | | was not changed to match their new locations and is therefore | | incorrect. | +----------------------------------------------------------------- +
