_Errors and Inconsistencies (noted by transcriber)_

Missing . in figure captions has been silently supplied. Spelling in citations, including all French sources, is unchanged unless otherwise noted.

_Unexpected Forms_

A few words have ä (a with umlaut) where â or ā (long a) was expected:

nä´nu (polar bear: both occurrences of the word)
wooden partitions called sä´potĭn
Nägawau´ra, now deceased
deadfalls or steel traps (nänori´a)
dancing caps (kă´brû, käluka´)

The spelling “slungshot” is used consistently.

_Inconsistencies_

The spellings “Inuit” and “Innuit” (including “an Innuit” in one quoted passage) both occur.

The word “Arctic” is generally capitalized, but exceptions were too frequent to regularize.

Names of ships such as _Vega_ are rarely italicized, and scientific names never. All are shown as printed.

_Hyphenization_

Forms were only changed when there was a clear pattern. This list is not meant to be comprehensive:

northeast, northwest; southeast, southwest _never hyphenated_
ridgepole; tiestring, bowstring, drawstring
woodenware, smoothbore, midleg, handboard
pipestem, sealthong, centerbit
whale-fish, whale-skin, whale-iron, whale-harpoon
_but_ whalebone, whaleman/whalemen
breechloader _but_ muzzle-loader, -loading
foreshaft and fore-shaft, treenail and tree-nail

Words in -skin are generally hyphenated, but exceptions are not marked. The forms “needlecase” (one word, no hyphen) and “needle case” (two words) both occur.
