Plates were originally printed on unnumbered pages and followed by a blank page.
The transcriber created the cover image and assigns it to the public domain.
[Pages 26] and [116]: the name "Laslett", retained, probably refers to "Lazlett".
[Page 35]: Some paragraphs of the original printed book appear to be footnotes, but lack an anchor in the text. For example, the one on page 35 is likely a general reference for the Genus Ulmus (Elm). [Pages 123]-124 contain a particularly interesting example. This Chapter on Eucalyptus contains five footnote paragraphs. The third and fifth are not anchored. It may be that either: (1) the third paragraph was meant to be part of the second footnote, or (2) the third paragraph was meant to be a general reference for Eucalyptus, or (3) the anchor for the third paragraph was simply not printed due to typographical error. Since such ambiguity is rather common in this book, the footnote paragraphs, both anchored and not, have been retained in the order printed, but relocated to the end of the immediate containing section.
[Page 57]: "chrysaphylla" changed to "chrysophylla".
[Page 60]: the original second footnote, "† Keeler notes experiments made to prove resistance on part of beechwood." had no anchor in the text, and in the 1908 edition (the Second Edition, First Thousand), this footnote was omitted entirely from the corresponding chapter. Herein, it is retained.
[Page 64]: "virginina" changed to "virginiana".
[Page 88]: the names "Salix babylónica", and "Salix babylonica" (the latter in the index), are both retained. There are several other retained instances of spelling inconsistencies in the use of accents, or "æ" versus "ae".
[Page 120]: "Santa Anna" on page 120 and "Santa Ana" on [page 118] are both retained.
[Page 149], Data Table: The fourth column in the first data row "Pines (Pinus)" was empty. It is unclear whether the entry in the second data row, fourth column was meant to apply to both rows, or not. The original printed table had no lines separating the rows.
