Chapter I: Part IV: TOC headings and text headings also vary in their specific

wording and the presence or absence of parentheses and dashes.

Inconsistent ways of expressing measurements are as in the original, for example, one fifth of an inch, 1/5th of an inch, 1/5 of an inch, 1/5″ of an inch, 1/5″.

The dimensions of many organisms are described using an archaic unit of length: the ‘line’ which was equivalent to 1/12 of an inch. However, as the inch itself varied, both within and between countries, it was a non-standard measurement, e.g. in England one line was equivalent to 2.117 mm but the French (Paris) ligne was equal to 2.256 mm. The triple prime symbol ‴ was used to represent the unit and occasionally appears in this text (along with the more common ′ and ″ symbols representing feet and inches). The ligne unit is still used by watchmakers.

The closing pages of the book contain advertising material about other works from the same publisher. In some cases the date of publication could not be determined with certainty because of the inferior quality of the page scans.
