To have paronymized all the names would have involved resetting the 

 entire work. Examples may be found upon the new figures 110 and 117,

* The terms paronym and heteronym were suggested by our colleague, Prof. Isaac 

 Flagg. Paronym (compare the Greek Trapuvvuia) indicates a name which is cognate with 

 or radically allied to another ; heteronym is its natural correlative and implies the 

 absence of such relationship. For example, canal is the paronym of canalis, while its 

 heteronyms are groove, furrow, aqueduct, etc.
