Notes:
The poem “Lines on Ale,” listed under the reference to amber, is now known not to be the work of Poe.
The entries for BRIAR and BRAMBLE are out of order, but because there is an intervening page break, they have been allowed to stand as they are. The same is true for the entries GUTTA-PERCHA and GUM.
