Darwin’s MSS -Index to contents of Drawer & Lists of journals & reviews
In September 2023, I made a list of corrections for CUL-DAR262.8.1-2, CUL-DAR262.8.3-5, CUL-DAR262.8.6-8 for the Darwin Online project. While they had been sighted and commented on, none of the corrections are currently online. The combined original texts are here. The ‘emdash’ had somehow been converted into ‘&’ termed as “data corruption”. A few lines of the MSS were also missed by the original transcriber. For my effort not to go to waste, I have uploaded my corrections here. The wrong word/s and corrected ones are in bold. This is revision number 4 since July 2011.
