| 500 | |a Pagination: v. 1: i-iv, [2], v-xii, xliv, 100 p., [2], 100 leaves of plates (the map is printed on folded double leaves, tipped in on a stub); v. 2: 100 p., [100] leaves of plates; appendix (bound at end of v. 2): 20 p., 20 plates; [8] p. (=indexes). | ||
| 500 | |a Work originally issued in 11 parts, each including 20 plates (v. 1 issued in parts 1-5, between 1729-1732; v. 2 issued in parts 6-10, between 1734-1743; and the Appendix, issued in 1747). The t.p. for v. 1 is dated 1731, and the t.p. for v. 2 is dated 1743. Catesby is on record as having presented the completed Appendix to the Royal Society on 2 July 1747 (Royal Society journal book, v. 20, p. 307). | ||
| 500 | |a The first edition exists in several different typesettings, since some sections were reset and printed for additional subscribers, and minor typographical errors were corrected. The typesetting of the last line of French text on p. 9 is diagnostic for identifying the version of an individual copy (possible endings include: "ver."; "l'hiver."; or "d'un grand usage."). | ||
| 500 | |a The word "prefixed" in the subtitle of v. 1 was originally printed as "perfixed," with the corrected spelling of the first three letters appearing on a printed label mounted on the t.p. | ||

| 500 | |a The title pages are printed in red and black. | ||
| 500 | |a Head- and tail-pieces; initials. | ||
| 500 | |a The first twenty pages of descriptive text in v. 2 are misnumbered as 121-140. In most copies, these erroneous page numbers were corrected at the time of publication with lead white paint (usually now oxidized to a silvery gray or reddish stain); the number for p. 20 has also been corrected in handwritten ink. | ||
