Note on genera and species
: Whilst it was not uncommon for binomial names to retain an initial capital letter when formed from a proper noun, e.g.,
Cervus Chilensis
, such notation has only been occasionally, and erratically, applied within the original text. To avoid these discrepancies the secondary element of each binomial name has been rendered in lowercase, e.g.,
Cervus chilensis
.
