My most cordial thanks are due, first of all, to the dancers from whom the technical information contained in the following pages has been derived, more especially to Messrs. John Siddall and Ernest Shaw, of Handsworth; Mr. George Wright, of Darlington (late of Ampleforth); Mr. S. Bland, of Askham Richard ; Mr. T. Daker, of Haxby; Mr. William Prudhoe, of Winlaton ; and Mr. W. Clark, of Wal bottle.

I wish also to acknowledge the friendly assistance which, in the course of my investigations, I have received from Mrs. Place, Sir Benjamin Browne, Rev. C. Trollope, Mr. Hugh Fairfax-Cholmeley, Mr. J. Ronksley, Mr. A. Butterworth, Mr. Duncan Naish, Mr, Parker Brewis, and Mr. Barry Jones.

Finally, I would thank Mr. George Butterworth for helping me to collect three of the-daoqes; and, once again, my good friend Mr. E. Phillips Barker for criticising and amending my MS., reading the proofs, and in countless ways aiding me in the preparation of my bock.
