PREFACE, 
vii 
tions of this book. The proprietors of the Ilbistrated 
London News not only gave me permission to copy, in 
reduced size, their two pictures of the Dcedalns incident, 
but presented to me electrotype copies of all others small 
enough for these pages — namely, " Jonah and the Monster," 
Egede's " Sea-Serpent," and the Whale as seen from the 
PaiLline. Equally kind have been the proprietors of the 
Field. To them I am greatly indebted for their permission 
to copy the beautiful woodcuts of the " Octopus at Rest," 
" The Sepia seizing its Prey," and the arms of the New- 
foundland squids, and also for " electros " of the two curious 
Japanese engravings, all of which originally appeared 
in their paper. From the GrapJiic I have had similar 
permission to copy any cuts that might be thought 
suitable, and the illustrations of the sea-serpent, as seen 
from Her Majesty's yacht Osborne and the City of Balti- 
more, are from that journal. Messrs. Nisbet most courteously 
allowed me to have a copy of the block of the EnaliosauriLs 
swimming, which was one of the numerous pictures in 
Mr. Gosse's book, published by them, already referred to. 
And last, not least, I have to thank Miss Ellen Woodward, 
daughter of my friend. Dr. Henry Woodward, F.R.S., for 
enabling me to better explain the movements and appear- 
ances of the squids when swimming, and when raising their 
bodies out of water in an erect position, by carefully 
drawing them from my rough sketches.
