To the South African correspondents enumerated in the 

 preface to Volume VI., I have again to tender my acknow- 

 ledgments for the contribution of specimens. 



I must further record my obligations to others, and 

 especially to those whose aid in various ways has been of the 

 greatest value in the preparation of the volume : —
