Redtenbaclier typos in the Vienna Museum ; T)r. 0. Tasclien- 

 berg, for several ot" Burnieister's tvpes in tlie Halle Museum ;

Amongst those who have contril)uted other valuable 

 materials for the work I must especially mention Dr. R. 

 Gestro, Director of the Genoa Civic Museum, whose equally 

 valuable assistance with niy previous volume I accidentally 

 omitted to acknowledge, and wlio not only contributed the 

 most important collection of Huti^lin^ which has yet been 

 •made in Burma (that of the late Leonardo Fea), but also 

 su{)[)lied the coloured figure reprodncetl in the frontispiece 

 of the unique ty|)e of 1 f'u-avlorephalus fe(t\ Gestro. 



Mr. F. H. Gravely, of the Indian Museum, Mr. T. Bain- 

 brigge Fletcher^ of the Agricultural Research Institute, Pusa, 

 Mr. E. E. Green, late Government Entomologist in Ceylon, 

 and his successors, the late Mr. Rutherford and Mr. G. M. 

 Henry, Mr. C. F. C. Beeson, of the Forest Research Institute, 

 Dehra Dun, Mr. E. A. D'Abreu, of the Nagpur (\^ntial 

 Museum. Mr. E. Ballard, Government Entomologist for 

 Madras, have all assisted by sending collections belonging 

 to their various institutions and increased by their personal 

 exertions. Mr. H. E. Andrewes' large and important collec- 

 tion has again been of the greatest value ; and the following 

 gentlemen have all aided by collecting for me in different 

 parts of India : the late Mr. W. K. Webb, Mr. H. Stevens, 

 Capt. A. K. Wld-Downing, Mr. C. F. S. Baker and Mr. F. 

 M. Mackwood. 



More than to any other single individual I am indebted 

 to Dr. Adam Bijving, of the United States National Museum, 

 for the exceptional kindness with which he copied for me in 

 America both letterpress and illustrations of an important 

 memoir published in Germany shortly before the outbreak 

 of war, which would othei'wise have been inaccessible to
