 ready assistance given to us. Professor Newton has helped 

 us to the names of several of the works we have consulted, 

 and given us other useful aid. Messrs. E. R. Alston and 

 H. E. Dresser looked over our collections and assisted us in 

 difficulties of nomenclature &c. ; and Mr. J. E. Harting gave 

 us useful information on several points of importance.
