NOTE. Lists of insects, even in those orders which are most thoroughly worked up, 

 become more or less incomplete soon after publication. This is particularly true in groups 

 in which active work is being done, and in which there is constant revision of genera and 

 a whole lot of new species to be characterized. Such is the condition of the Tineina; so 

 that any list at the present time must be premature or more or less unsatisfactory. With 

 these sentiments it is much against my own inclination that I have been induced to prepare 

 the present list for Prof. Smith. During several trips to Europe I have had the advantage 

 of comparing notes and specimens with various specialists, and have had for years the 

 benefit of correspondence and exchange with men like Zeller, Stainton and Walsingham. 

 I also received from V. T. Chambers a number of authentic specimens, and by pur- 

 chase a series collected by Jacob Boll and by G. W. Belfrage, while Mr. Beutenmuller's 

 types are also in the National Museum collection. These advantages, however, would 

 mil have justified the preparation of the list had I not anticipated the valuable aid of Lord 

 Walsingham. Poor health, which has obliged him to abandon all work for a time, has 

 unfortunately prevented him from giving me the benefit of his intimate knowledge of the 

 subject, and the list, therefore, goes to press without any revision from him, and is by 

 just that much the less satisfactory. It is, in short, but a list of the species described,- 

 adapted, as far as possible, to the latest published revision, but with no attempt at critical
