viii THE BIRDS OF HELIGOLAND 



Mr. W. Eagle Clarke for his kindness in revising the 

 synonymy and reading over the proof-sheets, and also to 

 Mr. John Cordeaux and Professor Newton for the use of 

 Mr. Gatke's pen-and-ink sketches which have been intro- 

 duced into the text. The other vignettes and portraits 

 of the author at the beginning and end of the volume are 

 taken from photographs sent from Heligoland.
