EAST COAST OF ENGLAND. 



Feinted forms of enquiry and letters of instruction were sent 

 to thirty-four lighthouses and light-vessels on the east coast of 

 England, and two stations on the Channel Islands, thirty-six 

 altogether against thirty-seven in 1880, and returns have been 

 received from twenty-five. 



Independent reports have also been sent in from Heligoland, 

 Seaton-carew and Kedcar, Flambprough, Spurn, North-east 

 Lincolnshire, and Northrepps, making a total of thirty-two 

 reporting stations against thirty-eight in 1880. 



My best thanks are due to H. Giitke, T. H. Nelson, C. Donald 

 Thompson, Matthew Bailey, William Eagle Clarke, H. Bendelack 

 Hewetson, M.D., J. H. Gurney, jun.. Colonel Russell, and G. P. 

 Hope, for many interesting notes sent in, and for general kind 

 co-operation and assistance in the enquiry. 



Special thanks is also given to the various observers on the 

 lighthouses and light-vessels whose names are given in the 

 Eeport ; and it is to be regretted that no less than eleven stations, 

 from causes unknown to the writer, have failed to make returns, 

 more especially as some of these were amongst the best returning 

 stations in 1880. It is much to be hoped that this year the 

 returns will be more numerous and complete.
