Several members of the Administration have helped, too, in matters outside their departmental work, and a debt of gratitude is due in particular to Colonel E. R. Sawer, Director of Agriculture, to Dr. W. K. Biggar, Messrs. I. Aharoni, E. Rabinovitch, and P. A. Buxton for the sections on Natural History; to Mr. E. T. Richmond for a valuable review of the Moslem architecture of Palestine, a task not previously attempted elsewhere; to Professor Garstang and Mr. W. J. Phythian-Adams for several notes. To Colonel R. B. W. Holmes, General Manager, Palestine Railways, they owe permission to use the map which is attached to the volume.

They are greatly indebted to Père H. Vincent, O.P., of the Ecole de S. Etienne, for the review of the Christian architecture of Palestine, and to Bishop MacInnes and Canon H. Danby for the paragraphs respectively on the Anglican diocese and on Judaism in Palestine after 70 Dr. C. R. B. Eyre, Sub-Warden of the Hospital of the Order of S. John of Jerusalem, has kindly contributed the section on the postage stamps of Palestine. Lt.-Colonel H. Pirie-Gordon's Palestine Pocket Guide-books have been consulted with advantage; and material help in connexion with the preparation of the volume for press has been received from Mr. A. G. Antippa of the Palestine Civil Service.
