 no less than sixteen times for North American species. 



We note that Harvey's species are uniformly credited to Harris. 



At the end of the book is a list of 77 unrecognized species, 26 of 

 which are North American, and might have been eliminated from the list 

 if American students had exerted themselves more actively to assist the 

 author. Harrison G. Dyar.
