Transcription Notes:
Tidied up the consistency of the underlining and insertion annotations, to make them in accordance with the instructions. Also changed a few minor words, including "Cecrita guttivita" (right page) and "Jefferson [[Highlands?]]" (right page), where Dyar spent the summer of 1895 (see: https://goo.gl/kvZQQe). -@mnathan
