A History of North American Birds; Land Birds; Vol. 1 of 3
Part 85
Footnotes were renumbered sequentially and moved to the end of the book, preceding the Index to Plates.
In the discussion of the Florida Greenlet, the author used a ‘y’ with a breve above it to describe the song sound. As this character is not easily reproduced in UTF-8, a macron was used instead of a breve.
Obvious printing errors were corrected, such as duplicate words, upside down letters, numbers printed backwards, and letters or spacing in the wrong order.
Changes for consistency with other entries: italics were changed to capital letters for HABITAT, and umlauts were added to Zoö-.
