 Gay, Mr. Paul Wilkerson, Mr. M. M. H. Wallace, Mr. 

 John Callaby, Mr. Keith Taylor, and Mr. Don Wilson. 

 The fine and valuable drawings prepared by Mr. 

 Arthur Smith deserve special mention. His services 

 were available through the British Museum (Natural 

 History), and he is responsible for a large part of the 

 illustrative material. His beautiful work has added 

 much to the project. The remainder of the drawings 

 were done by the author. 



I wish to thank Dr. Frank M. Carpenter and Dr. 

 Alexander B. Klots for furnishing the two photographs 

 in the frontispiece. 



I should like to thank the many librarians, who have 

 used their special talents to help locate obscure 

 references. 



Finally I wish to express my deep appreciation to my 

 wife, Mary Marguerite Chappell Hull, who has spent 

 countless hours in typing manuscript and checking list 

 of species; her painstaking work has lightened and 

 shortened the task.
