capitalization, and punctuation in the original documents and quotes were left as printed. On page 28 , "aimable" should possibly be "amiable". On page 40 , "as taken umbrage" should possibly be "has taken umbrage". On page 58 , "Chamley, of New Castle" should possibly be "Charnley of Newcastle". On page 100 , "Mr. A." should possibly be "Mrs. A". On page 233 "youself" should possibly be "yourself". On page 418 "pp. 197*-204*" should possibly not have asterisks. " ##" and "## " are used interchangeably (with and without spacing.) The same is true for "$##" and "##$". "Major Glassel" ( page 7 ) and "Major Classel" ( page 24 ) appear to be the same person. Some references in the Index are incorrect. No entry exists for "Coral snake". The entry for "Audubon parentage and early names" is missing a page reference. This is the second volume of a two volume work. Linked cross-references to Volume I are designed to work when the book is read on line.
