late P. Odend'hal (whose early death was a serious
loss to the cause of Indo-Chinese research), S. H,
Ray, G. A. Grierson, CLE., E. H. Man, CLE., Sir
Richard Temple, CLE., W. L. H. Duckworth, and
others, for help in connexion with cognate or allied
races and languages. Several officers of the Govern-
ment Service in the Malay Peninsula, particularly
Messrs. L. Wray, junr., A. Hale, H. N. Ridley, and
F. W. Knocker, have also been kind enough to read
portions of the book in proof, and have contributed,
as the fruit of their experiences, no small amount of
material in the shape of comments and criticisms.
Mr. A. Cabaton was good enough to read the Com-
parative Vocabulary in proof, and his intimate know-
ledge of several Indo-Chinese languages enabled him
to enrich it by many valuable etymological sugges-
tions. To him the authors are also indebted for
access to the unpublished material of Messrs. P.
Odend'hal and A. Lavallee.
For the illustrations, which form a notable addition
to the value of the work (the greater part having
been taken specially for the occasion), the authors
are also indebted to the help of many hands.
Mr. T. J. M'^Gregor has contributed (at his own
charges) the largest part of the original photographs ;
others have been lent by Messrs. L. Wray, A. D.
Machado, A. Hale, G. B. Cerruti, W. P. Hume,
F. W. Douglas, T. Gardner, F. F. Laidlaw and
Professor R. H. Yapp (the two last being members
of the Cambridge Expedition), F. M. Elliot, R. F.
Arnott, and others, who cannot all be mentioned
