Excerpt from Index of Genera and Species Referred To, and an Index to the Plates in 'the Ibis': 1859-1876

When the indexes of these eighteen volumes were brought together, the varied orthography of many names became apparent. These I have endeavoured to reduce to a common spelling, and in doing so have adopted that which seemed most correct.

My task has been greatly lightened by the kind help rendered me in copying the indexes in the first instance; and my thanks are chiefly due to Mrs. H. E. Strickland, to my sister Miss Salvin, to Mrs. Howard Saunders, and to Mrs. O. Salvin, for the aid they have given me. The laborious task of making the second transcript was efficiently performed by Mr. Alfred Rodgers of the Cambridge University Library. At each stage I have carefully revised the whole; and in every case of doubt reference to the original page has been made.
