II. "The North American Ceuthophili," by Samuel Hubbard 

 Scudder. (Proc. American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 

 Vol. XXX, pp. 17-113, 1894.) 



The specimens on which the species described in the present paper 

 were based were gathered together from many sources by Mr. 

 Scudder. The majority of these specimens became the property of 

 Mr. Scudder, so that in choosing the lectotypic specimens we find 

 twenty-six in the Collection of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, all 

 but four being from the Scudder Collection. Of the remaining thirteen 

 species described from material not in the Scudder Collection the 

 lectotypes have been found to be in the following collections; nine 

 in the Hebard Collection, ex Bruner; two in the United States 

 National Museum Collection, and two are in the possession of H. 

 Garman, Agr. Exp. Sta., University of Kentucky. 



The labelling of specimens treated in this paper is rather uniform. 

 All of the specimens examined and recorded, with but few exceptions, 

 are labelled "Scudder's Type, 1894." The result is that such a 

 label signifies only that the specimen, if belonging to a species de- 

 scribed as new in the paper under consideration, is one of the typical 

 series. 



After each reference in the paper under consideration the collec- 

 tion to which the material belonged is given in parentheses, but 

 where no parentheses are to be found it is understood that the 

 material belonged to Mr. Scudder himself. In quite a few cases, 

 however, where there are no parentheses the material did not belong 

 to Mr. Scudder. After the publication of this paper a very complete 

 series was sent to Professor Bruner, all the species being represented 

 of which Mr. Scudder had more than two specimens. 



All but two of the specimens chosen as lectotypes in the present 

 paper have been examined by the authors. 



There are no figures in the paper now before us and no general 

 statement is made in regard to the sources of the material used or 

 the location of the types.
