Transcriber's Notes:

Dittos and dashes used to represent text have been replaced with the indicated text.

When a scale is given in an image caption, a scale bar has been added to demonstrate the approximate dimensions of the printed image. One centimeter (cm.) and one inch (in.) are depicted in the following format:

Some figure captions have been combined and separated by the word 'and', such that Fig. 44. Fig. 45. becomes Fig. 44. and Fig. 45.

Some presumed printer's errors have been corrected. In particular, the use of c.c. has been normalized when periods were missing, the degree symbol (°) has been added when it appears to have been missing, and words and numbers in the Index and Table of Contents were changed to match the spelling and placement in the body of the text. Some additional presumed errors which have been corrected are listed below with the original text (top) and the replacement text (bottom):
