    PREFATORY NOTE. To apologise for the delay in the issue of this Report would be useless. It has been carried through with all the speed possible compatible with accuracy of workmanship and the many other necessary calls on the time, not only of the Editor, but of each one of the many contributors. The Editor has no fear of being judged harshly by anyone who knows any- thing at all of the labour involved in the passing of such very highly technical and scientific matter through the Press. The Editor wishes to acknowledge the always courtesy, if not always promptness, of his many correspondents and contributors. His thanks are also due to Mr. Bateson, F.R.S., V.M.H., to whom much of the excel- lence and none of the faults of the present issue are due. But above all ho wishes to express his vast indebtedness to the assistance rendered him by Mr. R. H. Hutchinson, the Society’s Librarian, without whose careful reading of the sheets every error now discoverable would have been multiplied ten times. W. W. Vincent Squake, London, February 21, 1907.
