PEEFACE vil

I have thought It unnecessary to prepare any Index. The
names of the rulers represented appear In the List of
Contents. The Bleazby coins are distinguished throughout
by the Initials G. B*

All the work of preparation of the Catalogue has been
done In the Department of Coins and Medals, British Museum,
with the permission of Mr. G. F. Hill, Keeper of the Coins,
and I desire to thank Mm and Ms colleagues for their kindness
and help. I am especially Indebted to Mr. J. Allan, who has
generously placed the whole of his knowledge of these coins
at my service, and whose intimate acquaintance with the
bibliography of the subject has been essentially valuable.
The Plates illustrating this work have been produced from
casts by the collotype process at the Clarendon Press.

Professor E. J. Eapson and Dr. J.F. Fleet have kindly helped
me In the elucidation of one or two difficult points. I am
further indebted to Mr. J. Allan for reading through the
proofs of this Catalogue. Finally, I wish to thank the Staff
of the Clarendon Press for the promptitude and accuracy
of their work.
