906 A. E. Verrill—The Bermuda Islands. 
EXPLANATION OF PLATES. 
Most of the following plates are half-tone reproductions from photographs 
made by my son, Mr. A. Hyatt Verrill, during our visit to Bermuda in 1901.* 
Several relating to Botany were made by Dr. W. G. Van Name, of our party, in 
May, 1901. A few photographs of scenery were purchased, and I was unable to 
ascertain by whom some of these were made. Others are from drawings made 
by A. H. Verrill, as indicated under each. They were engraved by the Gill 
Engraving Company of New York. The pages referred to are the original ones.

because Mr. Verrill took his horse and buggy to Bermuda and was thus able to 
visit all desirable localities at favorable times.
