Both parts have separate indexes, but plate and page numbering is consecutive. The numbers 346 and 354 (last two) in the Johnson Reprint edition, but all are rare and very difficult to obtain. The illustrations are very good, and the descriptions detailed and accurate. Many new species are included.
