INDEX OF GENERIC NAMES. 



Xote.— The names held to be valid are printed in black letters, those of which I have been unable to Qnd any published 

 description are in ordinary type, and synonyms and preoccupied names in italics. When the author of a generic name has 

 himself given or indicated the derivation of it, his own statement in the original language or translated appears between 

 marks of quotation. The derivations of new generic names, having already been given in the text, are not repeated here. 

 Dark numerals refer to the page on which the definition of a genus occurs.
