VI PREFACE. 



the Clarendon Press, Messrs. Macmillan & Co., and C. G. Oates, 

 Esq., for permission to reprint the Papers published under 

 their respective auspices, — and the Messrs. Churchill for the use 

 of a number of woodcuts. 



I have also to express my great indebtedness to Mrs. Rolleston 

 for much valuable assistance in collecting the Papers; to Dr. 

 James Murie, and Charles Robertson, Esq., for important help 

 in compiling the chronological list of published writings ; and 

 to the latter gentleman, and W. Hatchett Jackson, Esq., for 

 the aid they have given me in identifying some of the objects 

 referred to in certain of the Papers with specimens contained 

 in the Oxford Museum, and for other information. I have also 

 received hints and suggestions of various kinds from Sir George 

 Burrows, Bart., Sir Henry W. Acland, K.C.B., Prof. Flower, 

 Prof. Max Mtiller, Prof. Moseley, J. Park Harrison, Esq., Edward 

 Chapman, Esq., Dr. A. B. Shepherd, F. E. Beddard, Esq., E. S. 

 Cobbold, Esq., and H. D. Rolleston, Esq., to all of whom I wish 

 to convey my thanks. 



A Biographical Memoir has, at Mrs. Rolleston's request, been 

 kindly prepared by E. B. Tylor, Esq. 



I consider it a privilege to have been entrusted with the 

 work of arranging and editing this collection of the writings of 

 the late Professor Rolleston, whose acquaintance I made when 

 we studied medicine together in the school of St. Bartholomew's 

 Hospital, whose friendship I enjoyed uninterruptedly for a 

 period of thirty years, and for whose talents, learning, and per- 

 sonal character I entertain the highest respect and esteem.
