the assistance of Dr. Beddoe, who was author of almost the 
entire first part of the former edition. Mr. George Atkinson 
has rendered valuable assistance in the production of the 
coloured plate, which it is hoped will be more permanent 
than that in the first edition. The sections on Medical 
Anthropology in the former edition have been revised and 
rewritten, and several new sections added ; for assistance in 
this department, thanks are due to Dr. Bobert Felkin. 
The second part—Ethnography—has, from its nature, not 
required such drastic treatment, but the whole has been 
revised and additional chapters have been written. The 
arrangement of the sections also has been altered, with a 
view of bringing into greater prominence the queries which 
present the least difficulty to those whose special knowledge 
may be slight. 
The thanks of the editors are due to those friends who 
have contributed the new sections, to others who have kindly 
given help in revising the old, and not least to the writers of 
the original work, who have borne with calmness the process 
of editing.
