APPENDIX 



During the seven years this work has been in progress several new species of 

 Lepidoptera have been discovered, errors detected (while others still lurk in 

 concealment), and various changes, &c. have taken place in regard to our 

 knowledge of the indigenous species ; I shall therefore endeavour, very briefly, 

 to remedy a few of these defects, and to record the recent discoveries, so far 

 as I have the opportunity, premising that my limits will not admit of too 

 extensive a review of my former labours, and the description of many of the 

 species not in the body of the work will be found in the three Appendices 

 already given in the preceding volumes : I shall also attempt to frame the 

 Synoptic Tables of the Lepidoptera Vespertina, and complete my labours upon 

 this order by an abstract of the indigenous species contained in Hiibner's 

 valuable and most neglected Verzeichniss Bckantcr Schmcttcrlingc, &c., 

 published in 1816.
