EPILOGUE 



I T is no\v forty-three years since I issued in N atuye and La F euille 

 des ] eunes ...\T atuyalistes a scheme for an H Index Animalium" and 

 received in reply letters approving that scheme from Professor 

 J. Victor Carus and Professor Sven Lovén. 

 In the Introduction to this volume I gave an account of the 

 financial assistance I had received during the progress of the \vork 

 and that I here continue. The \vhole of this assistance since 1922 has 

 con1e from the Trustees of the British 
Iuseum, \vho have made 

 themselves responsible for the completion of the \vork.

 This final volun1e of the Index .Ll niJJtaliztJn for 1801-1850 contains 

 a note of all books not listed in pp. xv-cxxxi of the Introduction 

 and comprises also in its one alphabet the t\VO separate additional 

 lists published in February 1923 and 
Iay 1925 (parts II and VII) 

 together \vith books examined since the later date. 

 I t prints U Additamenta et Corrigenda" and under this section is 

 included a great number of misspellings recorded in the valuable 

 lVontenclatoy 
41li1nalizttn no\v being issued by the Berlin Acadelny. 

 I decided against the inclusion of many of these obvious misspellings, 

 \vhich do not invalidate the originals, merely encumber literature and 

 are moreover as frequently the errors of printers as of authors. Still 

 on the \vhole they are apt to confuse even though perfectly obvious 

 and I have therefore included them here (up to the end of the letter L) 

 \vith any other corrigenda that have been kindly sent to me by many 

 friends at home and abroad. .A..s, ho\vever, it has not been possible 

 for me to verify these entries I have given the authority for their 

 occurrence, and references and dates must be verified by those \vho 

 use them. 

 Then follo\vs an H Index to Generic Names sho\ving the trivial 

 names associated \vith each from 1801-1850," those from 1758-1800 

 having appeared in my first volume. This has been a severe labour 

 to prepare and type as o\ving to the frequent use of the same Generic 

 word in various groups the disentanglement of the entries has been 

 difficult. I therefore ask the indulgence of the reader for any errors.
