The Rev. T. A. Marshall having lately brought together 

 the most important features of our knoMdedge of this group in 

 a series of papers in the '^ Entomologist's Monthly Magazine,'^ 

 vol. iv., it only remains for me to recapitulate the informa- 

 tion there contained, and to offer such additions and altera- 

 tions in the list and nomenclature as are in unison with my 

 own views and those now iield by continental authors. I 

 have ventured to introduce in brackets the new generic 

 divisions lately promulgated abroad, and, wherever needful ^ 

 I have pointed out the specific names which will have to 

 supersede many of those now familiar to us. There are yet 

 several of Curtis' nam.es to be referred to their continental 

 equivalents ; but, in the absence of types, his papers are the 

 only materials to work upon, and, when at leisure, I hope 

 to compare their contents with my British collection. A& 

 Mr. Marshall's papers are probably accessible to most of the 

 readers of the *^ Annual," I refer to them for the enumeration 

 of the scattered notes which have been published up to the 

 time of the former's appearance.
