v1 RETROSPECTIVE NOTE. 
under four different Governments—are not readily accessible, 
for several that have been published of late years in England 
are very erroneous, especially in delineating the course of the 
rivers on which so much depends. 
On a previous occasion I mentioned the difficulty I had with 
the Finnish names of places, and this has continued to the very 
end, though I hope there are not so many mistakes in the 
latter as in the former parts of the work. I have found it 
impossible to be consistent in the spelling of these names, and 
I trust that Finnish scholars apprehending the difficulties with 
which I have had to contend will pardon my shortcomings in 
this respect. Thanks to the care of the press-readers, I believe 
the number of actual misprints to be inconsiderable, and those 
which occur to be of comparatively little importance, so that 
it is not worth while giving a list of them. 
In an Appendix will be found reprinted all of Mr. WotieEy’s 
publications on Natural History with which I am acquainted, 
excepting those already included in the body of the work. 
Lastly, I have to state that the Collection of which this is 
the Catalogue has been given to the Universivy or CamBriDGE, 
in whose Museum of Zoology I trust it may long continue.
