Here are some lists from "The Mysterious Island."
Part II, Chapter VI: A list of apes: "But it was an ape, a macaco, a sapajou,
a guenon, an orang, a baboon, a gorilla, a saki!"

Part II, Chapter X:: Paragraph 3: A list of sails: "...rigged as a sloop with
a spanker, a staysail, a foresail, a forestaysail, and a jib."

Part II: Chapter XI: Paragraph 3: A list of wool machines: "...not having
either a carding machine, nor a wool-combing machine, nor a smoothing
machine, nor a drawing machine, nor a twisting machine, nor a "Mule-Jenny,"
nor a "self-acting machine to spin the wool, nor a loom to weave it with,..."

Part II: Chapter XI: A list of fabrics: "It obviously was not merino, nor
muslin, nor Scotch cashmere, nor worsted, nor repp, nor Chinese satin, nor
Orleans cloth, nor alpaca, nor flannel!"
