TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES:
Hyphens were spaced in ranges of small numbers to ease readability, e.g., “1/2000-1/3000 of an inch” was changed to “1/2000 - 1/3000 of an inch”.
Raised dots in numbers were converted to decimals.
Use of periods and commas in the abbreviations within and referring to figures and plates is inconsistent. Often, punctuation marks do not match the illustrations to which they refer. Periods were retained; commas were added to separate figure numbers from abbreviations within the figure. Spacing within the abbreviations was standardized.
Footnotes were renumbered sequentially, and were moved to the end of the chapter. There is no anchor for footnote 496; anchor was placed at the spot the transcriber deemed it likely belonged. Footnote 351 incorrectly identifies the page number of the article on urinogential organs of vertebrates. The number provided in the original text of the footnote was retained, but the link was corrected.
Changes for consistency within the text of the book:
body cavity to body-cavity
