pg 124: Captain Barbara
pg 228: Lieutenant Barbara
pg 766: Lieutenant Barbara

It's highly improbable a Colonel would accidentally refer to a former Captain (one he'd just promoted to Colonel) as "Lieutenant."

pg 275
"There's the Dipper ... Cassiopeia ... the Great Bear.

again, the big Dipper and the Great Bear are the same.

pg 815
...and then there was bark.

typo, "then there was a bark," or "then there was barking."

pg 854
