of Cleveland ; Dr C. W. Stiles ; Mr F. H. Waterhouse ; Dr J. S. Palmer ; 

 Mr A. W. Kappel ; Mr W. Rupert Jones ; Rev. Canon Norman ; 

 Mr L. B. Prout ; Dr C. W. Richmond ; Mr John Locke, of Barbados ; 

 Professor J. Perez, of Bordeaux ; Mr Justen and Mr F. A. Justen ; 

 Mr A. E. Shipley ; and many others to whom I am indebted for help 

 and assistance. 



I would also thank especially Mr B. B. Woodward, Prof Jefifrey 

 Bell, Mr Gahan, Mr Kirby, Mr Pocock, Mr Crick, and all other 

 friends at the British Museum (Natural History) ; and Mr W. R, 

 Wilson of the British Museum, and the Reading Room Staff in 

 general, to whose courtesy many are so constantly indebted. 



My thanks are also due to my sister who has undertaken the 

 weary task of comparing all the numerals with the manuscript. 



Finally I would like to say that with the exception of some fifty 

 entries kindly made for me by my friend Dr Bather in Stockholm, 

 and by Prof Perez in Bordeaux, every entry has been recorded from 

 the original, arranged, sorted, checked, and passed for press by myself. 

 I therefore beg the indulgence of those who use this book for any 

 error of commission or omission that may be found. And I may add 

 that a note of any such error will be especially valuable for inclusion 

 in the second part of my " Index Animalium."
