3060. Mre CO fas Mawes Five Years’ Observations 
editorial additions are much shorter and fewer, it has 
been thought better to add the initials E.B.P. as well 
as the usual brackets. 
The authorship of footnotes in both text and appendix 
is indicated by initials, except in purely formal editorial 
notes. 
In the frequent references to the Proceedings and Trans- 
actions of the Entomological Society of London the abbrevi- 
ated forms Proc. and Trans. Ent. Soc. have been employed, 
Lond. being usually omitted. 
The great majority of the letters were written at Moor 
Plantation (p. 326), and this place is to be understood in 
the absence of any indication at the head of an extract. 
The only other locality which appears at all commonly 
is Agege (152 ft.), sixteen miles north of Lagos, where 
there is a Government farm often visited by Farquharson. 
The few remaining localities are described when first 
referred ‘to in the extracts. 
The material has been mounted and labelled with the 
greatest care by Mr. A. H. Hamm and Mtr. J. Collins of 
the Hope Department, and by Mr. H. Britten, formerly 
of the Department, and I desire to express my thanks for 
their valuable help in this intricate work. 
The specimens may be studied in the Hope Depart- 
ment; also, as regards some of the types, co-types or 
para-types of certain species, in the British Museum 
(Nat. Hist.) and in collections of the authors. 
It is hoped that the detailed table of contents will be a 
sufficient guide, and, as regards subjects, an index, to a 
memoir which is, of necessity, varied and elaborate. 
A glance at this table will show how very much has 
been contributed by the distinguished authorities who 
have worked out the author’s material, and have thus 
done so much for his memory. 
I also wish to express warm thanks to the following 
eminent specialists who have given the kindest help :—
