Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

I fear that this part of the subject, which has been here taken up for the first time, from the poverty of the materials at my disposal, is not so perfect as it should be; but it is to be hoped, that readers living in different parts of the country (now that their observation is directed to the subject) will pay more attention to it, so that in future editions of the work it may be carried out in a more complete manner. It should be observed, that the whole value of the lists, and of the table, must depend on the accurate determination of the species, which is of the first importance; while the extent of the list (which appears to be the general pride of the local collector) is of a very secondary consideration. Since this part of the work was printed, Mr.
