Plates are numbered 1-7, [8], 9-15; title page is the 16th. -- Plate 15 was copied by Beatrix Potter at the age of 9: see Sketch Book, BP. 743, Beatrix Potter: the V & A collection, 1093--(OCoLC)18211352.

The monogram on the title page appears to be "JHB," as does the signing on pl.2; pl.11 is signed "drawn from nature June 5 1871 JB". "JB" seems to be the earlier form of Jemima (or Jane or Mrs. Hugh) Blackburn's monogram.
