Article VI. — ^ Partial Bihliofjraphj/ of the Phalanqiince of 

 North Jmerica. By Clarence M. Weed, M. Sc. 



It is believed that there are included below most of the 

 references to this group in our American literature. I have 

 placed an interrogation point after the genus of several species 

 of FliaJanqiiim of which I have seen no specimens, but which 

 probably do not belong to that genus as now restricted.
