theless, as may be seen by a note at the end of the part containing it, the 
paper was published in 1871. NB. Some references to ““Eugenie’s Resa” 
and the Philippine paper in this Catalogue must be corrected from 1859 and 
1870 to 1860 and 1871, respectively, as the pages were in proof before 
I detected these errors. 
4. Some of Stal’s and Walker’s genera are dated the same year. It 
may be useful to note that the second volume of Walker’s Catalogue of 
Hemiptera Heteroptera has the Preface dated Oct. 1. 1867; while “Stal’s 
paper in the O. V. A. F. XXIV. was published in September of the same year. 
5. A few of the genera and species described by St&l and Fieber bear 
the same date (1860), and the priority has been given to Stal; but the 
part of the “Europaischen Hemiptera” containing the tabular diagnoses of 
these genera was published in Nov. 1860, while the part of the Berlin. E. Z. 
with the descriptions of the clashing Stdlian genera, was not issued till at 
least very late in 1860, and Mr. Dames tells me that he thinks it did not 
appear till 1861. I have therefore given the preference to the genera of Fieber. 
B: 
Citations from Rambur’s “Faune d’Andalousie’” seem to have always 
been doubtful as to the dates. So far as I have been able to collate the 
dates of the several parts, they were as follows: 
Vol. I. pp. 1—80 (livr. 1) late 1837, or Jan. 1838. 
81—144 (livr. 2) 1838. 
Vol. Il. pp. 1—16  (livr. 2) 1838. 
17—96 (livr. 3) 1839, Jan. 14. 
97—176 (livr. 4) very late 1839 or early 1840; as to 
pp- 177—96, I have no information. 
I have therefore accepted early 1840 for Rambur’s new species of 
Hemiptera. 
) 7. Guérin’s Iconographie. I note that A. White cites this work as 
marked finished 1844 on the wrapper. Cf. A. M. N. H. XII. 119, (ima 
letter dated Jan. 9th 1845 from London). 
8. Some of Dallas’s and Signoret’s genera and species are both dated 
1851, but Signoret admits that Dallas has the priority, although he com- 
plains that his own paper was read at a meeting of the French Society ten 
months before the appearance of Dallas’s List. 
9. I have already spoken of the uncertainty of the exact dates and 
pagination of Mulsant and Rey’s work on the Heteroptera of France. The 
following is all the information I have been able to gather as regards the 
volumes dealing with the Cimicidae and Thyreocoridae. 
A. §. Linn. Lyon. separate edition. date of original ? 
XII. 285— 348 I. 1—64 1866, Jan. 6 
365—412 65—112 1866, Jan. 6 
XII. 291—367 ? 1866, June 30 
XIV. 1—288 II. 1—288 1867. 
10. The second volume of Puton’s ‘‘Synopsis des Hémiptéres de France” 
was apparently published in the ‘“‘Mém. Soc. Lille”, but as I have no further 
information, I have always cited the separate edition.
