Acknowledgements
The general terms that I have used in my Preface must be expanded
to make specific mention of those to whom I owe so much. They fall
into three groups.
In the first list are those to whom I listened and with whom, through
the lips of a multilingual wife, I talked at Amsterdam in 1974. They
were: P. Bonnet, J. A. L. Cooke, C. D. Dondale, E. A. G. Duffey, P. D.
Gabbutt, H. Homann, 0. Kraus, B. H. Lamoral, P. T. Lehtinen,
R. Legendre, H. W. Levi, A. F. Millidge, W. B. ~Iuchmore, J. R.
Parker, N. Platnick, M. Rambla, G. S. Rovner, M. Vachon, L. Vlijm,
B. R. Vogel and P. N. Witt.
The second list names those to whom I have since written and who
have sent me copies of their publications. In addition to those mentioned
above, information of many kinds has come to me from: S. C.
Anderson, T. S. Briggs, ]. L. Cloudsley-Thompson, B. Con de, A. L.
Edgar, R. R. Forster, C.]. and M. L. Goodnight, V. V. Hickman,
C. Juberthie, R. Leech, Z. Maretic, B. ]. Marples, E. A. Seyfarth,
L. Stormer and P. Weygoldt.
Finally, I thank my former pupils, who have been ready, as always,
to help me with their special knowledge in various difficulties: A. Coyle,
E. A. Eason, D. L. Harrison, ]. Pollock, A. S. C. Ross and ]. C. A.
Raison. Happy the schoolmaster whose invested efforts pay such
dividends as these so long an interval of time.
