SUPPLEMENTAEY NOTE TO PREFACE. 
DURING the publicatiou of the dictionary but one change has occurred in the staff of specialists men- 
tioned in the preface issued with the first part. AVhile the proofs of "T" were coming from the press, 
Dr. James K. Thacher, who had labored upon the dictionary from its beginning, died, leaving his work 
upon the last letters of the alphabet unfinished. The task of completing it was taken up by Dr. Thomas L. 
Stedman, and has been carried through by him. 
The dictionary has also i-eceived additional aid from many others not mentioned in the preface. Help 
has thus been given most notably by Prof. Charles A. Young, in many important definitions (in particular 
those of the words .sun, solar, telescope ^ and lens) and in continuous criticism of the final proofs; by Pi'of. 
Thomas Gray, of Rose Polytechnic Institute, in electrical definitions ; by Mr. George E. Cm-tis, of the Smith- 
sonian Institution, and Prof. Cleveland Abbe, in definitions of meteorological terms ; by Mr. Edward S. 
Burgess, Mr. E. S. Steele of the National Museum, Mr. F. V. Coville of the United States Department of 
Agi-iculture, Prof. N. L. Britton of Columbia College, and the late Dr. J. I. Northrop, also of Columbia, in 
botany; by Mr. Leicester Allen, in definitions of mechanical terms ; by Prof. S. W. Williston, of the University 
of Kansas, in medi(iine and physiology ; by Dr. Theobald Smith, of the United States Department of Agi-ieiil- 
ture, in veterinary pathology and surgery; by Lieut. Arthur P. Nazro, in naval and nautical definitions; by 
Capt. John W. Collins, of the United States Fish Commission, in material relating to fishing and the fisheries; 
by Prof. William H. Brewer, of Yale University, in many definitions, particularly those of the gaits of horees; 
by Mr. A. D. Risteen, in certain mathematical definitions ; by Rev. George T. Packard, in the preliminary 
arrangtMuent of certain literary material ; by Mr. Austin Dobson, in the definitions of the names of various 
ff)rnis of verse; by Prof. Douglas Sladen, in the collection of Australian provincialisms and colloquial- 
isms ; and in various special matters by Dr. Edward Eggleston, Mr. George Kennan, Mr. George W. Cable, 
Mr. G. W. Pettes, and many others. . 
The staff of editorial assistants has been enlarged by the addition of Miss Kathai"ine G. Brewster, and 
of Rev. G(H)rge M' Arthur, to whom special recognition is due for his efficient revision of the final proofs.
