The sheets have been repaired, and places where text obliterated has been added back in pencil are indicated in the notes.

The bottom left of the first sheet has been annotated by J. H. Willis '1 December 1886'. That sheet has at top left a pencil annotation, part of which is covered by a repair: 'Henry [utilized]'.

The list is arranged implicitly in five columns: reference number, Genus, species epithet and author, location, collector. This arrangement is formalised in this transcription.
