INTRODUCTION TO THE SECOND EDITION. 



This volume is a reprint of the late Mr. E. T. 

 Booth's " Descriptive Catalogue," with a few additions, 

 including the illustrations, the " History of the Collec- 

 tion " (page ix.), the references to Mr. Booth's " Rough 

 Notes," a description of additional cases subsequent to 

 No. 306, and an index (page 224). Alterations in, and 

 additions to the Catalogue, as originally printed, were 

 made from time to time by the late Mr. Booth, being 

 printed on slips and pasted in such of the copies as 

 remained unsold. These are embodied in this reprint. 



All the additions now made for the first time are 

 distinguished by the type used in this paragraph. 



The Editor has to thank Mr. Murray, the Custodian, 

 for much valuable help in the preparation of this 

 edition, in which he has shewn the same interest that 

 he takes in everything relating to the safety and care 

 of the collection. 



The editor is responsible for one only of the 



illustrations in the book 



A. F. GRIFFITH. 



Brighton, 1896.
