Transcriber's notes:
(1) Numbers following letters (without space) like C2 were originally printed in subscript. Letter subscripts are preceded by an underscore, like C_n.
(2) Characters following a carat (^) were printed in superscript.
(3) Side-notes were relocated to function as titles of their respective paragraphs.
(4) Macrons and breves above letters and dots below letters were not inserted.
(5) [root] stands for the root symbol; [alpha], [beta], etc. for greek letters.
(6) The following typographical errors have been corrected:
ARTICLE LABYRINTHULIDEA: "From each cyst ultimately emerges a single amoeba, or more rarely four (figs. 6, 7)." 'amoeba' amended from 'amoebae'.
ARTICLE LACE: "... upon the lace-making industry in Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire contains many illustrations of laces made in these counties from the 17th century to the present time." 'Bedfordshire' amended from 'Bedforshire'.
ARTICLE LACONIA: "The coast, especially on the east, is rugged and dangerous." 'especially' amended from 'expecially'.
ARTICLE LA FARGE, JOHN: "Hokusai: A Talk about Hokusai (New York, 1897), and An Artist's Letters from Japan (New York, 1897)." 'Hokusai' amended from 'Hoksuai'.
ARTICLE LAMELLIBRANCHIA: "The series of oval holes on the back of the lamella are the water-pores which open between the filaments in irregular rows separated horizontally by the transverse inter-filamentar junctions." 'filamentar' amended from 'filmentar'.
