Admiralty for permission to avail myself of all the advantages 
accorded to other observers, for transit for myself and instruments 
on board H.M.S. Theseus ; to the captain and officers of the 
Theseus for their great kindness and assistance ; to Senor Iniguez, 
Director of the Madrid Observatory, for the use of maps and 
information sent prior to starting from home, and for his good 
offices in facilitating my business with the Customs and Police 
authorities ; to Mr J. W. Cumming, H.M. Vice-Consul at Alicante, 
for much valuable aid ; to Senor Francisco Bonmati y Mas, Alcalde 
of Santa Pola, and other local authorities for their thoughtful care 
on my behalf.
