Transcription Notes:
Checked latin species names but kept Vernon's original spelling. However Vernon's c's can look like his e's and his i's and e's can look very similar apart from the dot above the i, if he remembers to put it there! Aquila chrysetas = chrysaetos = golden eagle Archibates logopua is a bough legged buzzard
