XXiv NOTE. 



In the absence of Dr. Hilgard I am compelled to state, by way 

 of appology, to him and to the readers of the Report, that lack of 

 space has obliged me to substitute for an exhaustive index, alphabeti- 

 cally arranged, a Table of Contents : I have labored to make this 

 as minute and full as possible, and hope that the careful reader by its 

 aid will be able to turn rapidly and readily, to whatever he may 

 desire to find in the text. The few errata deemed of sufficient 

 importance to correct, are here subjoined : 



On p. 3 — " Marine Animal " should be opposite " Ripley Group " 



and the three lines just below brought up accordingly. 



" " 240 — immediately preceding 1482, for " Retoration " read — 



Restoration. 

 " " 301 — in the heading, for " Alterations", read — Alternations. 

 " " 304 — in the sixth line of 1650, for -'properly" substitute 

 popularly. 

 Two blanks involving the number of acres embraced in the Sea- 

 Island Cotton Plantations, and the amount of cotton per acre 

 produced on these, I have been unable to fill, the only information 

 relative to these subjects, in the U. S. Census, being the return of 

 70 bales from Hancock County. W. D. MOORE.
