Transcriber's Note

Formatting of the titles for the sections listed in the Table of Contents was standardized. Hyphenation and æ ligature use was standardized.

The Family name Oleaceae was corrected on page 267. Footnote 46 was not indicated in the text and so was assumed to be the text associated with E. J. Hill's account of the species Celtis pumila.

The cover image was compiled by Tom Cosmas and is placed in the Public Domain.
