Various parts of this monograph have alread}^ appeared 

 in the publications of the Zoological Society and 

 elsewhere, and are reproduced with additions and 

 emendations. 



This monograph will form two volumes ; the second is 

 ready for printing, and it is hoped it may follow without 

 much delay, with a list of the specimens in the Museum, 

 and an alphabetical index to the whole work.
