EAST COAST OF ENGLAND. 



Printed forms of enquiry and letters of instruction were sent 

 to thirty-six lighthouses and light-vessels on the East Coast of 

 England, and two stations on the Channel Islands, — thirty-eight 

 altogether, against thirty-six in 1881, — and returns have been 

 received from thirty, a result which is very encouraging. 



Independent reports have also been sent in from Heligoland, 

 Seaton-Carew, and Kedcar, Flamborough, Spurn, North-East 

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

 reporting stations, against thirty-two in 1881. 



I have again to thank H. Gatke, T. H. Nelson, C. Donald 

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

 Hewetson, M.D., and J. H. Gurney, jun., for their general kind 

 co-operation and assistance in the enquiry. 



Special thanks are also given to all my kind and painstaking 

 observers on the lighthouses and light-vessels whose names are 

 given in the report. While thanks are due to all, it may perhaps 

 be not invidious to mention the very excellent returns received 

 from the Fame Island stations, the Longstone and Inner Fame 

 lighthouses, no less than eleven well-filled schedules having been 

 sent in. 



The east coast stations are as follows, those making returns 

 being marked with a star (*) :—
