been made, no such catalogue has been discovered ; and as it now 

 seems to be entirely unhkely that it will be found, I have pre- 

 pared the following Chronological Index to supply the defi- 

 ciency, and would present it as being at all events approximately 

 perfect. 



A similar Table, in connection with the writings of other Amer- 

 ican entomologists, has lately been published in the " Linnaea En- 

 tomologica ; " but that it is quite incomplete may be inferred from 

 the fact that only thirty-two articles were there referred to, while 

 I have detailed no less than ninety-nine. I have seen every arti- 

 cle here mentioned with but one exception. 



No attempt has here been made to include the writings of Dr. 

 Harris in other departments, though it could have been done 

 without swelling the list very much, for they were not numerous. 

 He wrote one or two articles upon mammals and birds, and a num- 

 ber of short ones upon the varieties of the squash, which are to be 

 found in various agricultural journals. 



In preparing this list, diligent search has been made through 

 all our agricultural periodicals ; and how numerous those are, in 

 which articles have been found, is easily seen by glancing at the 

 list appended to the Index. Much assistance in perfecting the 

 list has been derived from references by Dr. Harris, discovered 

 in the agricultural works in his library.
