Transcription Notes:
jeni92127 reviewed: - Misspelling of "Biological" in "Biological Survey of San Francisco" is a transcriber error and was correct in the original document. - "1914m" was a transcriber typo, it was "1914," in the original document. - The "-19" in "Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1913-19" was a transcriber typo, it was "-18," in the original document. - "Camplonotidae" is a transcriber error, it should be "Campylonotidae". - "Panadalidae" is a transcriber error, it should be "Pandalidae".
