This is an editorial abridgment, or digest, of the original; the natural-history 

 chapter, besides being relegated to .in appendix, is transposed as to its botanical 

 and zoological portions, the botany coming first in the original, the zoology in 

 the present edition ; it is, furthermore, like the rest of the work, abridged at the 

 editor's discretion, the omissions being indicated by asterisks ; a new feature, 

 moreover, is introduced, being foot-note references to the pages of the body of 

 the work on which the v.irious species were before mentioned. This is a valu- 

 able set of cross-references, for the narrative accounts scattered through the 

 work are often no less important than the formal notices themselves.
