Footnotes

Errors, when reasonably attributable to the printer, have been corrected. The corrections appear as words underlined with a light gray. The original text will be shown when the mouse is over the word. Please see the transcriber’s note at the end of this text for details.

The illustrations have been moved to avoid falling within a paragraph. The full page plates were printed with a blank page on its reverse, and both pages were included in the pagination. The page numbers for both are skipped here, since they are not likely to be accurate.

A large map and accompanying legend was bound as a fold-out inside the end cover. The image as printed is given here, in a reduced size. The Reference is given here in text. A larger version of the map itself can be viewed via the link provided below the image.This version of the text does not provide support for an expanded view of the map.

The cover has been fabricated and is placed in the public domain.
