 continental naturalists ; and I need merely remark, that the types 

 of the Stephensian collection (always plainly indicated) are re- 

 garded as the sole exponents of the Stephensian species, — no 

 allusion being required, in such a list, to those numerous instances 

 of the admixture, everywhere, of non-typical specimens, all of 

 which have been fully discussed in the preceding memoir.
