 forwarded by me to Edinburgh, but, unfortunately, I never 

 saw a proof either of the plates which contained my figures or 

 of the text, in which my descriptions were introduced by Mr. 

 Duncan without any indication of which was mine or what 

 his own comments. 



The Introduction to Entomology, vol. i., commences 

 with an " Advertisement " (as was also the case throughout the 

 Work) containing a notice of forthcoming volumes and notes 

 of others already published. In this advertisement we read, 

 in reference to the unpublished volume on Exotic Moths, that 

 " drawings of new and splendid species of moths are now in 

 preparation by Mr. Westwood, to whose elegant pencil we have 

 likewise, as will be seen, been largely indebted on the present 

 occasion in the volume which this accompanies." 



My share in the first volume was as follows : — 



Plate vi. was occupied by structural outlines of the chief 

 characters of the Order Orthoptera^ including a figure of ^''Acheta 

 arachnoides''' described on page 248, where we are informed 

 " Mr. Westwood has given it the specific name of arachnoidcsy 



Plate ix. contained my figure of '' Deroplatys d'xsiccata^'' 

 properly described in the text, p. 234, as Majitis {Deroplatys) 

 dQsiccata, West. 



Plate xiv. contained my figure of ^^Afiosfosfonia Australasice^'' 

 stated (in p. 255) to have been first described by Mr. Gr^y 

 (George Robert Gray), in Mag. Nat. His., N. Ser. i., 143. 



Plate xviii. contained figures of the leading characters of the 

 lleteropterous Haniptera (described on p. 269), and of the 

 Homoptera (on p. 270), with a figure of " Polyneura di/calis" 

 described in the text, p. 277, as Cicada {Foly?ieura) ducalis, 

 " and considered by Mr. Westwood as forming a distinct sub- 

 genus."
