Volume VIII

Metamorphoses

Nothing here has finished changing.

Natural history in its least settled mood: transformation plates, developmental series, hybrid figures and the illustrated moment between two states. Volume VIII collects Entities caught mid-change, and its records are the ones most likely to carry two names in the source literature. The archive keeps both names rather than choosing between them.

Records 0708 to 0808. Records in this volume are permitted a second historical title where the source itself is inconsistent.
