Transcriber's Note
Variant spelling is preserved as printed.
Minor punctuation errors have been repaired.
On page 17, the common name for Eryngium yuccaefolium is omitted from
the table 'Fiber Plants as Identified.' It is typically identified as
button eryngo, button snake-root or rattlesnake master. The omission
in the table is preserved as printed.
On page 21, there is nothing in the 'Tribe or location' column for the
bag, 19-7125, in the table 'Museum of the American Indian, Heye
Foundation.'
On page 22, there were no column labels on the tables from 'University
of Kentucky Museum' onwards. For ease of reference, the transcriber
has added column labels.
