PREFACE. IX 



Prof. E. B. Poulton and Dr. Gestro were so good as to 

 send the Indian material from the Oxford and Genoa 

 IMuseums respectively. Finally, a considerable collection 

 has been received from the Indian Museum at Calcutta. 

 I need not further here particularise these collections, 

 since in every case I have referred the species under 

 discussion to its source in the bod}^ of the volume. To 

 the owners or keepers of the above material, and especially 

 to Mr. Ernest A. Elliott, I here tender my sincere thanks 

 for technical and academic assistance. 



I am also indebted to Mr. J. H. Keys, of Plymouth, for 

 his kind permission to reproduce three blocks (figs. 1, 2, 

 and 3) from the first volume of my ' Ichneumonologia 

 Britannica.'
