Transcriber's notes to the Electronic Edition
- Spelling, capitalization, and punctuation of bird names was made consistent (e.g., “Redhead” vs. “Red-head” vs. “Redheaded”). All spelling changes were justified by usage elsewhere in the text. Unambiguous abbreviated names (“American Sparrow Hawk” vs. “Sparrow Hawk”) were not changed.
- Note that the “Yellow Warbler” is also once called “Summer Warbler”.
- The “Canvas-back Duck” was, apparently unintentionally, omitted from the bird list, but is referenced several times in the text.
- Two tables, the “Identification Key” and “Tables of Arrival”, were reformatted for vertical scrolling.
- In the ASCII text file, an * (asterisk) indicates that the following bird name or number was printed in bold font.
