FOREWORD. 



A widespread demand for a ten years' index to the ^Medical Series 

 of the " Review of AppHed Entomology " has arisen, not only because 

 it would enhance the value of the Review as a work of reference, but 

 also because the numerous changes in synonymy during the period 

 invoh'ed have resulted in the insects often being recorded under 

 diffenint names in different ^'olumes. 



Owing to the vast number of entries and the great expense of an 

 index of this character, it has been found necessary to confine it to the 

 Arthropod names onlj'. For entries under the diseases and blood 

 parasites, their vertebrate hosts, the countries in which they occur, 

 etc., the reader is referred to the annual indices published with each 

 volume. 



The general arrangement of the index is identical with that of the 

 annual indices except that in the case of the list of authors reference is 

 restricted to those whose papers have been actually abstracted, casual 

 mention of authors in the text being omitted. 



In the case of scientific names the page reference is cited only under 

 the heading of the generic name. 



When an alternative name is printed in brackets, it signifies that it 

 is not the. one here adopted, but in the case of certain mosquitos the 

 valid sub-generic name, which in the view of some authors should have 

 the status of a genus, is distinguished by an asterisk.
