Transcriber's Notes
Added missing hyphen to "Sa'-Zada", but kept the lowercase z variation"Sa'-zada" which was used throughout the book. Removed the hyphen in"Sher Abi" for consistency. Corrected mismatched quote marks, and madethe following changes:
Contents: Changed "Bheh" to "Bagh" to match chapter title andcharacter name. Orig.: Raj Bheh, the King Tiger
Page xi: "HANSOR, (the Laugher) Hyena" is only mentioned in the listof "The Dwellers in Animal Town." "Jaruk the Hyena" is used throughoutthe remainder of the book.
Pages 5 and 177: "Pard" is used instead of "Pardus;" it might bea nickname rather than a typo.
Page 129: Changed "tale" to "tail". Orig.: I pulled the tale of every Donkey of the line
Page 225: "Grizzy" may be a typo for "Grizzly," or just Muskwa'snickname for Grizzly.
Note: Bakri apparently refers to a sheep or goat: Page 71: a jungle Bakri (sheep) Page 83: I sprang on Bakri the Goat Page 175: kill Bakri, the Men's Sheep
Spelling variations:
Pages 8, 58: Wie-sak-ke-chackPages 225, 227: Wie-sah-ke-chack
