work, and passed on to such supplementary notes as are called 

 for by later observations. 



These notes relate almost entirely to the geographical distri- 

 bution of the various species found within my limits, some of 

 them being from personal observation, made during my visits 

 to Guatemala. Specimens of nearly all the species mentioned 

 are in the collectio^i formed by Mr. Godman and myself. 



All the great American groups of this family are well repre-

 twenty-seven f. These belong to nine genera, and the following 

 Table shows briefly how they are distributed over the different 

 sections of the great Isthmus.
