Excerpt from The Island of Formosa, Past and Present: History, People, Resources, and Commercial Prospects, Tea, Camphor, Sugar, Gold, Coal, Sulphur, Economical Plants, and Other Productions

Mr. Y. 1110 contributed a comprehensive account of the Formosan savages, Dr. W. Wykeham Myers, m.e., presented me with an excellent paper on the sugar industry, and Mr. De la Touche with a valuable report on the ornithology of the island, which appears in the appendix. To these kind friends I would express my sincere and hearty thanks.
