6 GEOLOGICAL SURVEYj OP NEW JERSEY. 



extensive collection, and from this I obtained many records not on 

 other lists. The list in Coleopiera is very fairly complete in most 

 families. Mr. Samuel Henshaw, of Cambridge, also sent me a short 

 list containing several species not elsewhere noted. 



In Lepidoptera, the list furnished by the Newark society was the 

 base. In the Rhopalocera, Mr. E, M. Aaron, of Philadelphia, gave 

 me a most valuable list, and the records in the lists and works of 

 Messrs. Strecker, Edwards and Scudder, supplemented by my own 

 experience, have made this part of the list almost complete. Mr. 

 Scudder's order of genera has been followed. 



In the Sphingid and Zygeenid families, my own works have been 

 followed, and I believe the list to be nearly complete. In the balance 

 of the Macro-Lepidoptera, Mr. Grote's list has been, in the main, 

 followed ; the Newark list being supplemented chiefly by my own 

 experience. In the Geometridse and Pyralidse, Rev. Geo. D. Hulst, 

 of Brooklyn, has furnished the material for the list almost as it stands. 

 In the Tortrieidce, Professor Fernald's catalogue has given me most 

 of the information. In the Tineidce, Mr. Wm. Beutenmiiller, of the 

 American Museum of Natural History, has furnished the entire list, 

 which is based almost exclusively upon his own collections and ob- 

 servation. Mr. Simon Seib, of Newark, gave me a list containing 

 many dates, and this has been utilized as far as possible. 



In the Diptera, Baron Osten-Sacken's catalogue has been ray guide, 

 supplemented in the Syrphidce by Dr. S. W. Williston's excellent 

 monograph. Mr. Crane furnished me with a record of his captures 

 in this order, and this, in addition to my own observations, gives a 

 basis of fact to this part of the list. 



In the Orthoptera, Mr. Lawrence Bruner, of Lincoln, Nebraska, has 

 kindly furnished the list, which I have used exactly as he sent it, 

 simply adding the records obtained from Mr. Crane and my own col- 

 lecting. All the matter in brackets [ ] represents additions by 

 myself. 



In the Hemiptera-Heteroptera, Uhler's check list has been my guide, 

 supplemented by Mr. Crane's records and my own collections. 



In the Hemiptera-Homoptera, Mr. W. H. Ashmead, of Jacksonville, 

 Fla., has kindly furnished the list, and very little, indeed, has been 

 added to it by Mr. Crane's records and my own collecting. 



In the Neuroptera, Dr. Hagen's synopsis has been ray guide. Mr, 

 Crane's list contained many species. I took many myself during the
