Transcriber’s Notes

This e-text is based on ‘Cassell’s Natural History, Vol. I,’ from 1896.Inconsistent and uncommon spelling and hyphenation have been retained;punctuation and typographical errors have been corrected.

In the original book, Chapter XI of the order ‘Quadrumana’ (page 185)had been erroneously named ‘Chapter IX.’ The correct sequence ofchapter numbers has been restored.

In the List of Illustrations, some image titles do not match theillustrations presented in the text. The following titles have beenchanged:

  • ‘The Green and RedMonkeys’ → ‘The Gorilla’ (To face page 111)
  • ‘The Sacred Baboon’ → ‘The Chimpanzee’ (To face page 137)
  • ‘A Group of Lemuroids’ → ‘Anubis Baboon’ (To face page 211)

The list item ‘Hand of the Spider Monkey’ has been added by thetranscriber.

The printed book shows some references to numbered ‘Plates’ (full-pageimages). This numbering scheme seems to originate from an earlieredition. Even though the present edition shows no image numbers, alloriginal references have been retained.
