Transcriber Notes ● Obvious typos and punctuation errors corrected. Spelling of names Lamarck and Bruguière standardized, otherwise variations in spelling, capitalization and hyphenation retained. ● “var” is sometimes italicized, other times not. It has been kept as printed. ● Corrections printed in the text as a note to THE BINDER have been made. In addition, plates 19 and 20 were reversed in the original. These plates have been swapped so that the correct image precedes the chapter that discusses it. ● Missing title text “PLATE VI” added at the start of its chapter. ● Missing entry for Plate 36 in the Index has been added. “Polita, Nerita, var; Pink-Banded Variety of the Thick Polished Nerit 36” ● There are entries in the Index that don’t seem to correspond to specific text in the related plate chapter, but may refer to a plant that is in the plate background. ● The author uses asterisks in varying numbers in front of some descriptive text at the beginning of plate chapters. There are also a couple of asterisks within the text that appear similar to footnote indicators, but a corresponding footnote does not seem to exist. These asterisks have been left in the text in their original location. ● Footnotes have been moved to the end of their respective chapters. ● Italics are indicated by underscores surrounding the _italic text_. ● Small capitals have been converted to ALL CAPS. ● Superscript text is represented by a ^ preceding it, e.g. 1.^{st}. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ THE NATURALIST’S REPOSITORY, OR Monthly Miscellany OF EXOTIC NATURAL HISTORY: CONSISTING OF ELEGANTLY COLOURED PLATES WITH APPROPRIATE SCIENTIFIC AND GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS OF THE MOST CURIOUS, SCARCE, AND BEAUTIFUL PRODUCTIONS OF NATURE THAT HAVE BEEN RECENTLY DISCOVERED IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE WORLD; AND MORE ESPECIALLY SUCH NOVELTIES As from their extreme Rarity remain entirely undescribed, or which have not been duly noticed by any preceding Naturalists.
