Silently corrected palpable typos; left non-standard spellings and dialect unchanged.
Added section headings for bird families to allow linking entries in the table of contents.
Removed “Nesting Site of the Tawny Creeper (Half-tone)” from the list of plates, since it is a photograph.
In the text versions, consistently used spaced dashes - - - to indicate the length of pauses between notes.
