| TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES: |
| |
| The original text has been maintained, including inconsistencies |

| of capitals, diacriticals and accents, except as described below |
| under Changes Made. Important inconsistencies include: Saarbruck/ |
| Saarbrück, Coalbrookdale/Coalbrook Dale, Roth-liegende/ |
| Rothliegende/Röthe-liegende, Westmorland/Westmoreland, blow-pipe/ |
| blowpipe, cuttle-fish/cuttlefish, frame-work/framework, |
| fresh-water/freshwater, Kupfer-schiefer/Kupferschiefer, |
| rain-drops/raindrops, re-construct/reconstruct (and related |
| words), Roth-todt-liegende/Rothe-todte-liegende, sub-divide/ |
| subdivide (and related words), tile-stones/tilestones, under-clay/|
| underclay, water-stones/waterstones, aërial/aerial, Baikal/Baïkal,|
| Ceteosaurus/Cetiosaurus, Colley Weston/Colleyweston, Cupanioides/ |
| Cupanioïdes, Hoffman/Hoffmann (this is apparently the same person,|
| it is not clear what the correct spelling should be); Kjökken- |
| Mödden/Kjökken Mödden/Kjökken-mödden, Mæstricht/Maestricht, |
| Néocomian/Neocomian, predaceous/predacious, proboscideans/ |
| proboscidians, and Tunguragua/Tunguraqua. |
| |
| There are slight differences in wording between the Table of |
| Contents, the Index and the text. Since the meaning is not |
| affected, this has not been standardised. |
| |
| Textual remarks: |
| - Page 109 (table): 12,060 should possibly be 12,000; |
| - Page 196 (table): Red and variegated sandstone (Collyhurst) ...:|
| there is a line missing in the original work that is not present|
| in other editions either. This line has been replaced by [...]; |
| - Page 212: The Lias, in England, is generally in three groups: |
| possibly there is a word (divided or similar) missing; |
| - Page 301: The invertebrate animals which characterise the |
| Cretaceous age are among: possibly there is a word missing at |
| the end of the sentence (others); |
| - Page 339: not one-fifth the size of Switzerland should possibly |
| be not one-fifth the size of Great Britain; |
| - Index: contrary to the remark at the top of the index, not all |
| italic entries refer to illustrations. |
| |
| Multi-page tables have been combined into single tables. |
| |
| Changes made to original text: |
| - Some obvious typographical errors (including punctuation) have |
| been corrected silently. |
| - Table of Contents: entries Eruptive Rocks and The Beginning have|
| been indented one level less as in the text; entry Metamorphic |
| Rocks has been indented one level less, in line with the other |
| headings printed in small capitals. |
