Transcriber Notes
- Obvious typos and punctuation errors corrected. Spelling of names Lamarck and Bruguière standardized, otherwise variations in spelling, capitalization and hyphenation retained.
- “var” is sometimes italicized, other times not. It has been kept as printed.
- Corrections printed in the text as a note to THE BINDER have been made. In addition, plates 19 and 20 were reversed in the original. These plates have been swapped so that the correct image precedes the chapter that discusses it.
- Missing title text “PLATE VI” added at the start of its chapter.
- Missing entry for Plate 36 in the Index has been added. “Polita, Nerita, var; Pink-Banded Variety of the Thick Polished Nerit 36”
- There are entries in the Index that don’t seem to correspond to specific text in the related plate chapter, but may refer to a plant that is in the plate background.
- The author uses asterisks in varying numbers in front of some descriptive text at the beginning of plate chapters. There are also a couple of asterisks within the text that appear similar to footnote indicators, but a corresponding footnote does not seem to exist. These asterisks have been left in the text in their original location.
- If the device allows, plate images may be clicked upon to load a larger version.
- The cover has been created by the transcriber from elements in the book and is placed in the public domain.
