A C KNOWLEDG M ENTS. 
I desire to express my sincere thanks in the first instance to the Hon. 
P. C. Cork, C.M.G., the officer administering the Government when I arrived 
in British Honduras, and to the Hon. \Y. Collet, C.M.G., who, just previous to 
my leaving the Colony, assumed charge; to Mr. Burchell, the Superintendent 
of Public Works; to Dr. Harrison, Dr. Eyles, the Colonial Surgeon, Drs. 
Heusner, Crann, and Davies; to the Hon. H. B. Walcott, President of the 
Quarantine Board; to the Hon. H. E. W. Grant; to Mr. Biddle and 
Mr. Baber. 
Owing to the hearty co-operation of these gentlemen in every detail, and to 
the time which they personally gave to furthering my investigations, 1 was 
enabled to accomplish far more in the short time at my disposal than I could 
otherwise have done. Drs. Harrison and Heusner especially willingly gave a 
large portion of their time to assist Mr. Burchell and myself in the detailed 
examination of the water receptacles of Belize. I also desire to thank the 
Assistant Colonial Surgeons, Drs. Gann and Clements, Dr. Galme, Mr. H. F. 
Phillips, Sir Walter Lewis, and the leading merchants in Belize for much 
assistance. The United P'ruit Company, both through their agent, Mr. Keith, 
in Belize, and their Manager in New Orleans, greatly facilitated my visit to the 
coast towns. 
To the President of the State Board of Louisiana, Dr. Souchon, and to 
Dr. Patton, I am indebted for permission to travel during the period of the 
fever in Central America. 
To Surgeon-General Wyman at Washington, and to Dr. White in charge 
of the Yellow Fever Campaign in New Orleans, I am deeply indebted for much 
friendly assistance.
