| 1) Paragraphs split by illustrations or tables were rejoined. | |
| 2) The illustrations were placed above the section describing the species illustrated. | |
| 3) The following errata notes displayed on the bottom of pages 112, 114 and 116 in the original publication have been applied: | |
| "In the make-up of a few pages on the shore birds, the scientific names have become transposed. They should read: [Page 112]: Dowitcher (Macrohampus scolopaceus). [Page 114]: Yellow-legs (Totanus melanoleucus). " " : Marlin (Limosa fedora). [Page 116]: Red-backed sandpiper (Tringa alpina pacifica). " " : Willet (Symphemia Semipalmata inornata)." | |
| 4) There appears to be text missing under the description of "WILSON'S PLOVER" in the "Measurements" section on [page 125]. A note was inserted to that effect | |
| 5) The Æ ligature which was used in the caption of the image on [page 122] has been changed to the letters "AE" for consistancy with the way those names are displayed elsewhere in the book. | |
