tions of this book. The proprietors of the Illustrated 

 London Neivs not only \ gave me permission to copy, in 

 reduced size, their two pictures of the Dcedalus incident, 

 but presented to me electrotype copies of all others small 

 enough for these pages namely, " Jonah and the Monster," 

 Egede's " Sea Serpent," and the Whale as seen from the 

 Pauline. Equally kind have been the proprietors of the 

 Field. To them I am greatly indebted for their permission 

 to copy the beautiful woodcuts of the " Octopus at Rest," 

 " The Sepia seizing its Prey," and the arms of the New- 

 foundland squids, and also for " electros " of the two curious 

 Japanese engravings, all of which originally appeared 

 in their paper. From the Graphic I have had similar 

 permission to copy any cuts that might be thought 

 suitable, and the illustrations of the sea serpent, as seen 

 from Her Majesty's yacht Osborne and the City of Balti- 

 more, are from that journal. Messrs. Nisbet most courteously 

 allowed me to have a copy of the block of the Enaliosaurus 

 swimming, which was one of the numerous pictures in 

 Mr. Gosse's book, published by them, already referred to. 

 And last, not least, I have to thank Miss Ellen Woodward, 

 daughter of my friend, Dr. Henry Woodward, F.R.S., for 

 enabling me to better explain the movements and appear- 

 ances of the squids when swimming, and when raising their 

 bodies out of water in an erect position, by carefully 

 drawing them from my rough sketches.
