    ^^^^ PREFACE. and Read's Notes and Queries on Anthropology- Messrs. Curry & Paxton for copies of Snellen's Test Types' Messrs. Avery for permission to reproduce tke illustration of their attachable height measure; Mr. Gray, B.Sc , for photographs and descriptions of his anthropometrical instruments. The index has been prepared with great care and elabo- ration by Mr. A. J. Bain, Public Health Department, Local Government Board for Scotland. To Professor J. Arthur Thomson and his writings I am indebted for many references and fruitful suggestions. The other sources of information are acknowledged in the text. To P. B. Pearson, Esq., Advocate, Secretary of the Royal Commission on Physical Training (Scotland), I owe thanks for his discussions of many practical points emerg- ing from the Commission's Report. In the administrative sections, I had the inestimable advantage of discussion with J. Burn Russell, Esq., M.D., LL.D., member of the Local Government Board for Scot- land. I wish to add that the book really owes its origin to the medical member of the Commission—Professor Alexander Ogston, M.D., LL.D., Surgeon in Ordinary to His Majesty the King in Scotland. For Professor Ogston's cordial encouragement over many years I now take occasion to record my thanks. W. L. M. Edinbukgh, Ap^-il, 1904.
