    PREFACE [9] I wish also to express my best thanks to Mr. John Murray for many suggestions and revisions, and for the interest he has taken in the work. It only remains for me to acknowledge my indebtedness to Lady White Cooper, Sir William Flower, Professor Jeffrey Bell, Dr. Pearson Lang- shaw, and others, for valuable information which has done much to enhance the interest of the bio- graphy, and to Dr. Henry Woodward and the Rev. H. N, Hutchinson for the illustrations of some extinct animals, the reconstruction of which occupied so large a part of Professor Owen's life. RICHARD OWEN. Sheen Lodge, Richmond Park : Octobei- 1894.
