Transcriber’s Notes

The language used for this e-text is that used in the source
document. Inconsistent, unusual and archaic spelling has been
retained (also of plant, proper and geographical names). The
inconsistent numbering of Plates and individual Figures (some Roman,
some Arabic numerals) has not been standardised.

Plates have been moved outside the text paragraphs. Footnotes
have been moved and re-combined when printed over several pages.
Individual figures from the plates have been included where they are
discussed in the text.

Some obvious minor typographical and punctuation errors have been
corrected silently, as have some erroneously repeated words.
