The Editor is also greatly indebted to his friend Dr. John C. Merriam, 

 who undertook the translation of the entire chapter on Mollusca, a very 

 laborious work. Dr. Merriam's assistance has been further enlisted in the 

 translation of the second volume, which will be devoted exclusively to the 

 Vertebrates. Dr. August F. Foerste was kind enough to furnish a transla- 

 tion of the chapter on Insects, and various friends have assisted in correcting

 his brother, Mr. David P. Eastman.
