APPENDIX. 1063 
pages of this work will be searched in vain for descriptions of them. 
A supplementary volume, containing short diagnoses of all such 
species, would doubtless be a great convenience to students, and I 
am uot without hopes that I may be enabled to undertake the 
work. Inthe meantime, I have inserted in the catalogue references 
to good descriptions of each species, selecting books that are likely 
to be contained in the chief public libraries of the colony.
