Transcriber’s note

Text in italics has been surrounded with _underscores_, bold with =signs=, and underlined with ~signs~. Small capitals have been replaced with all capitals. The table on page 8 has been rotated for better readability. The table on page 299 was entirely in italics in the original, this has been removed. An extra title has been removed. The footnotes were renumbered and placed after the paragraph they referred to.

Errors in punctuation and spacing have been corrected silently. Also the following corrections were made, on page

58 “tha” changed to “that” (to differ in many respects from that which is characteristic) 63 “Havn” changed to “Haven” (from Angriffs Haven, near Humboldt Bay) 179 “XI” changed to “VI” (the Dunnichen Stone (Plate VI., Fig. 9); but the head) and in footnote 160 “_tindados_” changed to “_tindalos_” (and the birds are vehicles of _tindalos_.)

Otherwise the original has been preserved, including unusual spelling and inconsistent hyphenation. Additional: some footnotes have more than one anchor. The index has not been checked for errors in alphabetization or page numbers.
