Transcriber's Notes.
To avoid confusion, corrections noted above were not made to the plates or their captions.
"Membranaceous," "membraneous" and "membranous" all appear multiple times; I left them as is. Similarly for "Hynesboro" and "Hynesbury," "sebaceus" and "sebæceus," "subglobose" and "sub-globose," "center" and "centre," "network" and "net-work."
Both "Huseman" and "Husemann" appear; perhaps they refer to the same person, but I couldn't be sure, so I left them as is.
There is little consistency about when names are italicized or placed in quotes. Except where noted below, I left them as typeset in the original.
