338 gundlach's work on the odonata of cuba 



is marked at the bottom No. 25 and contains the last pages of the index of 

 the Hymenoptera and the first two pages (191 and 192) of Parte III — 

 Neuroptera; tliis was published in May, 1888. So we have: —

Parte IV, Orthoptera, takes in"pliegos" 38-49 and an Appendix also marked 

 No. 49 by error; this Parte IV was begun in April, 1890, and continued without 

 interruption from June, 1890, to May, 1891, upon which date ended Vol. II of 

 Gundlach's " Contribuci6n a la Entomologia Cubana," at the same time com- 

 mencing Vol. Ill with Parte V, Coleoptera. 



Mr. Herbert Campion, who has given me some information 

 concerning a copy of the Anales of the Havana Academy and of 

 Gundlach's Contrihucion in the Hbrary of the British Museum of 

 Natural History, has also sent me a list of dates of publication of 

 the "pliegos" which agrees with that quoted above from Dr. 

 Ramsden's letter except that he gives the date in each case as the 

 15th of each month (Aug. 15, 1888, Sept. 15, 1888, etc.).-^ 



When and to what extent copies of the Anales and of Gund- 

 lach's Contrihucion in separate form were distributed is diffi- 

 cult to determine. Mr. Rolla P. Currie wrote me from the 

 United States Department of Agriculture on May 9, 1919: 

 "With regard to Volume II of Juan Gundlach's Contrihucion d 

 la Entomologia Cubana, the date of receipt on the title page of 

 this volume, and also on page 217, is February 29, 1892. Miss 

 Barnett and Miss Hawks of the Department Library, however, 

 state that this date is not necessarily significant, as at that time 

 the copies were not always dated when first received, or the copy 

 may have been purchased some time after it was published." 



■* I am indebted to Mr. Nathan Banks for calling my attention to Mr. E. A. 

 Schwarz's note, on the catalogue of Gundlach's collection, and on the dating 

 of Gundlach's works, in Proc. Ent. Soc. Washington, vii, 1-2, 1905.
