Transcriber’s Notes
Inconsistent and archaic or unusual spelling, capitalisation, italicisation, hyphenation, etc. have been retained, unless mentioned below. The names and classifications of the organisms as used in the book do not always conform to modern names and classifications; these have not been changed.
Depending on the hard- and software used and their settings, not all elements may display as intended.

Page 47, ·9 × ·18 in size: the source document does not include the units; presumably the sizes are in microns.

Subject Index, entry Zygorrhynchus mœlleri: also refers to Zygorrhynchus vuilleminii.
Changes made:
Footnotes, tables and illustrations have been moved out of text paragraphs.
Several minor obvious typographical, punctuation and spelling errors (including accents) have been corrected silently. In several cases spelling differences (mainly of proper names) between the text and the index and endnotes have been standardised. In the indexes and in tables some ditto marks have been replaced with the dittoed text. Some page references have been corrected to indicate the correct page number.
Text in a dashed box is not present as such in the source document, but has been transcribed from the illustration for legibility and ease of reference. Some tables have been re-arranged or split to fit the available width.
