To these the increase in size is mainly due. Nearly all of them are from drawings or engravings by Mr. Collings, who has taken the utmost pains to ensure clearness and accuracy. Some of these replace less satisfactory illustrations in the last edition. In every case where specimens have been lent, I have acknowledged their source—in the case of those which have appeared in previous editions, by adding the name of the donor; and in that of specimens which appear for the first time in this edition, by a slightly longer and therefore distinguishing statement. I gladly avail myself of this opportunity of acknowledging the help I have received. To my friends and colleagues. Dr. Mott, Dr. Arkle, and Mr. Stanley Boyd, I am indebted both for suggestions and
