In | | the Index, the following words have been changed to conform to the | | text: sulkey to sulky, and re-inforced to reinforced. All | | dimensions have been standardised to a x b (with a and b | | representing two numbers). | | | | Typographical errors corrected: azotabacter to azotobacter (p. | | 138), devise to device (p. 232), anarobic to anaerobic (p. 236), | | and Hayford to Hayfork (Index). Some minor typographical errors | | have been corrected silently. | | | | Page 158: "the so-called humid sections" should possibly be "the | | so-called arid sections". | | | | The advertisements have been re-arranged to a single list per | | subject. | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
