Vlll PREFACE. 



With regard to the additional "Lists" of this volume, 

 those of the "Mosses" and "MoHusca" are equally the 

 work of Mr. Hagger and myself; for that of the " Cole- 

 optera " I am alone responsible. I gratefully acknowledge 

 the assistance of Mr. Hagger in helping me to revise the 

 proofs of this work for the press. 



I trust that the publication of these "Contributions"' 

 may act as a stimulus to the prosecution of the dehghtful 

 study of Natural History in Repton School. I can 

 confidently promise that many discoveries are yet to be 

 made, and I can also promise that every possible help and 

 assistance will be rendered by Mr. Hagger and myself. 



In conclusion, I have only to say that if any one, on 

 finding a new species to the Eepton District, will kindly 

 report to me, I shall be very greatly obliged.
