Transcriber’s Notes:—

The footnotes for each of the six volumes have been renumbered, the references to notes in other volumes have been changed accordingly.

Apparent errors in the footnotes:—

(footnote numbers in the original are clothed thus [99].)

Footnote 1794 [8], p. 224. The reference to Note [18], p. 196 appears
to be incorrect.

Footnote 3398 [13], p. 456. See Chapter 56, Note 3241 [55] should read
See Chapter 55, Note 3241 [55].

In footnote 24 “See Introduction to Vol. III.” probably refers to the glossary of “GREEK AND ROMAN MONEY, WEIGHTS, AND MEASURES MENTIONED BY PLINY.” which follows the Contents section of Volume III.

Index entry for:—

Leucogæa, vi. 449, 476.
should read:—
Leucogæa, vi. 449.
as the last page in the body of the text is numbered 468.
similarly,
Agrippa, M. vi. 480 is incorrect.
Hyophthalmos, vi. 459.
should read:—
Hyophthalmos, vi. 459.
Dgiggetai, ii. 326. refers to the Mongolian wild ass, the usual
spelling being ‘Dziggetai’.
