This volume was recovered from a shipwreck on the ocean floor and then re-bound with a notice that states, in part:
"It is not impossible that in the eyes of future owners the imperfections of the recovered volumes may be compensated for by the knowledge that the books, like the "Alcyonaria" and the "Polyzoa," which are beautifully figured in them have been drawn from the bottom of the sea."
As a result of the immersion, the text on a few pages has faded over the years, specifically portions of pages lvi, 150, 153, 154, 194, 229, 255, and 309.
