+----------------------------------------------------------------- + | Transcriber's Note: | | | | * Obvious punctuation and spelling errors repaired. | | | | * Original spelling and its variations were not standardized. | | | | * Original use of quotation marks was left unchanged. | | | | * The word "scattered is missing between pages 135 and 136. | | | | * "... have got permission from your friends...." This should | | be "permission from parents," as the context suggests. | | | | * Italicized words are surrounded by underline characters, _like | | this_. Words in bold characters are surrounded by equal signs, | | =like this=. | | | | * Footnotes were moved to the end of the paragraphs to which | | they applied and numbered in one continuous sequence. | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Natural History, by Anonymous
