Transcriber's Notes
The text presented is that obtained through the conversion of the printed text into digital form. All OE and oe ligatures were converted to the individual letters. Where questions remained as to the identification of the converted image, several on-line versions of the text and other resources were consulted in an attempt to resolve them. The word "Alleghenies" appears 30 times and "Alleghanies" only 6. So for consistancy, the 6 were converted. One instance of "Kæding" (Index) was converted to "Keading" to match the rest. Two instances of "Zoölogy" and one instance of "Zoology" which was retained as they are titles in publications referenced.
In addition to the list of corrections listed below, a number of minor corrections were made.
The U. S. adopted the named Kodiak in 1890; but islanders and others continued to use "Kadiak" until the early 1920s. Therefore, the word Kadiak was retained. In the case of the bird species, some have names that differ from common names used today (for example Canon Wren instead of Canyon Wren). The A.O.U. listing shows Cañon for two species of Wren and a Towhee which were retained. As for the scientific names, there are two spellings for species named in honor of Audubon ("auduboni" and "audubonii") which have been retained as they appear in the original publication.
