ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.— We are much indebted to Dr. Kraig 
Adler of Cornell University, an eminent historian of herpetology, for 
counsel and encouragement; to Dr. Albert Schwartz, of Miami-Dade 
Community College, a leading authority on West Indian herpetology, 
for careful appraisal of the proper identification of the Cyclura depicted 
by White; to the trustees of the British Museum for the privilege of 
reproducing selected paintings by White; to Dr. John E. Cooper, 
formerly of the North Carolina State Museum of Natural Sciences, for 
extensive aid and encouragement; and through Dr. Cooper for the 
honor of much historical guidance from Dr. David B. Quinn, a leading 
historian on the early settlement of North America, and from Paul H. 
Hulton, an eminent authority on early English art history.
