1Valuable assistance has been rendered by M. Victor Mahillon, the Conservateur du Musée of the Brussels Conservatoire, and the kindness of this gentleman in coming over, especially, from Brussels was very great. Thanks are also due to Mr. Henry Carte for much important information; and to Mr. George Case, whose knowledge in connection with instruments of the Trombone family is well known. Thanks are due to Messrs. Besson and Co. for their courtesy in affording facilities for the examination of various important documents and foreign patent specifications. Acknowledgment is due also to Mr. Köhler, to Mr. Henry Potter, to Mr. George Potter, to Mr. Glen, and to various others too numerous to mention individually.
3In conclusion, I must thank Mr. A. J. Hipkins, F.S.A., for the sound criticism and judicious advice so freely given by him upon all occasions, and for his kind help and experience, which has been of the most material assistance.
5C. R. Day, Captain,
