In conclusion I would express my indebtedness to those gentlemen who have assisted 

 me during tlie preparation of this paper. To Dr. Giinther and Mr. Pocock, of the British 

 Museum, my thanks are specially due for their having granted me ready access to the 

 collections under their charge and facilitating my work in various ways, to the 

 latter especially for having spent mvich time on my behalf and for kindly undertaking 

 to supervise the figuring of the new species during my absence in India. I am indebted 

 to Professor Alphonse Milne-Edwards, of Paris, for kindly examining and naming 

 some specimens I sent him, which were referable either to species described by himself 

 or to species of which the types are preserved in the Paris Natural History Museum.
