These were left as is; but other minor typos may have been corrected. The Table of Contents and page 69 list name "Skapta-Jokul" and "Skaptar Jokul" respectively. A web search shows that the more common spelling was "Skapta Jokul" and both were changed to that. Some page references in the Table of Contents were corrected. A reference to "Plate XVI, fig. 4" on page 246 has been corrected to "Plate XV, fig. 4". Illustrations were moved so as to prevent splitting paragraphs.
