TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE

The main text of this handbook is in Parts 1 and 2. There were many 2-page information segments inserted throughout this text. In this etext these fourteen inserts have been moved to the end of Part 2, to improve readability of the main text. Part 3 consists solely of a further set of 1- and 2-page informational inserts.

Each insert is separated by a thick black horizontal line.

Some hyphens in words have been silently removed, some added, when a predominant preference was found in the original book.

The Table of Contents in the Frontmatter has been augmented by the transcriber to include fourteen entries in Part 2 for “A Glacial Base”, and the other informational inserts.

The following minor changes have been made to the original text:
Frontmatter: ‘along the the Cape’ replaced by ‘along the Cape’.
Pg 54: ‘and others fishes’ replaced by ‘and other fishes’.
Pg 93: ‘chower is made’ replaced by ‘chowder is made’.
Pg 112: ‘Everett 66-67 dunin’ replaced by ‘Everett 66-67 dunlin’.
