NOTE. 



In concluding this paper, which has extended far beyond the limits which 

 were originally proposed, the author regrets that some errors and a few omis- 

 sions have unavoidably occurred. These will be corrected in an Appendix, wiiich 

 will also contain descriptions of the new species received through the kindness of 

 his scientific friends. To Dr. Zimmerman he is indebted for some valuable sugges- 

 tions respecting the Dromii and Cymindis, which render necessary the establish- 

 ment of some new generic groups. The characters of these will be briefly given in 

 the Appendix. 



In the preceding paper particular attention has been given to the concordance of 

 Say's and Dejean's species, the names proposed by the former having much the 

 priority. It is hoped that through the extensive relations of exchange existing be- 

 tween the Lyceum and foreign societies, the present essay will be rendered easily 

 accessible, and that by means of the synonyms here presented the naturalists of 

 Europe, and particularly the French, may be induced to pay some regard to Mr. 

 Say's publications, and believe it possible that a species may be described before it 

 reaches their collections. If they will admit the possibility of such a supposition, 

 much confusion may be avoided, and the interests of science greatly advanced. If 

 the preceding Catalogue be successful in removing any of the confusion which has 

 already arisen, and in preventing any future criors, the fullest expectations of 

 the author will have been realized.
