and Mimeseoptilus should take the place of Wallengren's Cnami- 

 dophorus and Mimaseoptilus (p. 19); opthalmicana (p. 25) should 

 he ophthalmicana ; Dicrorampha (p. 27) should be Dicrorrhampha; 

 vaculella, cochylidella, tapetzella, and lapella (p. 29), should be 

 vaccidella, conchylidella, tapetiella, and lappella. 



Again, chrysonuchellus (p. 20) should be chrysonychellus, and 

 betulcBtana (p. 23) should be betuletana. Whilst lafauryana (p. 21) 

 and demaryella fp. 39) would look more like Latin if they were 

 spelt lafauriana and demariella. 



In addition to the Corrigenda mentioned at the end of the 

 List, I take the following to be unintentional misprints : — 

 pinistri (p. 6) for pinastri ; siterata (p. 16) for siderata ; rubor- 

 tibiella (p. 21) for rubrotibiella ; flavicillana (p. 28) for flavic Hi ana ; 

 heergeriella (p. 38) for heegeriella ; saliciella (p. 39) for salaciella ; 

 and nacilia (p. 40) for naclia. 



But these minute blemishes detract little or nothing from the 

 credit that is justly due for the preparation of "the new 

 Doubleday "; and British Lepidopterists owe much to Mr. South 

 for the pains he has taken in performing a somewhat thankless 

 task. 



There was a time when the Entomological Society of London 

 contemplated the production of a co-operative ' Catalogue of 

 British Insects,' and though a beginning was made, for ten years 

 nothing has been done. Is it too much to hope that the 

 appearance of Mr. South 's List will stimulate the Society, and 

 induce it to proceed with the Lepidopterous portion of its larger 

 Catalogue, the need of which is by no means superseded by the 

 publication that I have now the pleasure of commending to all 

 to whom these presents come. J. W. Dunning.
