viii Preface. 



Magazines, yet many articles and notes from the pens 

 of the above-named, and other Neuropterists are scat- 

 tered throughout them, and much information from 

 them has been embodied in the present work. It is 

 to be expected that as time goes on such notes will 

 become more frequent, and it is the Author's hope 

 that such an increase ma}^ take place as to make a 

 new edition of the present work a necessity in the not 

 very distant future.
