Transcriber's note:

In this Plain Text version of the book only symbols from the
ASCII character set have been used.

Text in italic typeface is enclosed by underscores (_italics)_.

Text in small capital typeface is displayed as ALL UPPER CASE.

Text in bold typeface is enclosed by equal symbols (=bold=).

[OE] and [oe] represent upper and lower case oe ligatures.

[psi] and [gamma] represent the respective Greek letters of
that name.

An acute accent is represented ['e].

Diaeresis is represented [:e].

Instances of distinctive font symbols (T, V, W, Y) which occur
in the names and descriptions of several species etc. are shown
in upper case.

Note that numerous taxonomic names have changed since 1894.
The formatting of Latin names also differs from current
conventions; _e.g._, in this book species names are typically,
but not invariably, capitalised. No attempt has been made to
update this.

Some minor changes have been made to obvious format and
punctuation inconsistencies, but other inconsistent usages have
been retained. Where obvious typographical errors have been
corrected, these are listed at the end of the book.
