Scope and accuracy[edit]

This page seems to be limited in scope to volume 6 of the series, whereas there were actually 7 volumes in the series altogether. On top of this, the author of the surveys themselves were given as George M. Wheeler (stated in the title page of every volume to be "in charge of"), while Sereno Watson and Joseph Trimble Rothrock only authored some portions presumably in volume 6 (Botany). The problem is that other volumes are relevant to Wikispecies too, such as volume 5 for zoology. Monster Iestyn (talk) 16:28, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
