    The list of book Contents (p[v]?) does not match the page images available. For one, the novel is listed in the book Contents as "The Island of Doctor Moreau: A Possibility" and "page 9", but its first chapter ends on numbered page 9. Page [1] is its inferred title page, whose display title is unknown (as is the title page of the book).

    The short story titles variants match Alder's introduction as well as the Contents list. And the headings of the endnotes, which are four such as (quote, all caps):   Notes to 'Aepyornis Island' All title should be checked.
