Several minor typographical and punctuation errors have been fixed. Inconsistencies in spelling and hyphenation have been left as in
the original book.
More important changes made:
inter-fibrous changed to inter-fibrous spaces (page 182);
illegible text in original taken as reading the other side of (page 284) and omnivorous (page 290);
part of sentence missing in original, completed to meet with some success. (page 316);
muscles on page 408 changed to mussels;
white-grented changed to white-fronted (page 413);
The parts on swine and poultry have two page numbers in the original work: one for that particular part, one for the complete
book. The latter has been used in this e-book, with the former being given between brackets where appropriate.
In the original book, the transition from one animal to the next is indicated by a blank page. For the sake of clarity, the title
of the next part is included here.
