 and descriptions of New Species. Part III. 



By George N. Lawrence.

(Continued fiom page 884.) 



At the time of publishing Part II. of this Catalogue, there 

 were some species which I considered new, but before deciding 

 desired to submit them to higher authority, as tliey w^ere in fami- 

 lies with which I did not feel very conversant. 



P. L. Sclater, Esq., of London, having kindly consented to 

 examine those species, I sent them to hiin with descriptions for 

 publication in the " Ibis," in case he should coincide with me 

 in opinion. I am liappy to say that he did so, and the descrip- 

 tions accordingly appeared in tliat magazine. 



At the same time I sent to Mr. Sclater, for verification, seve- 

 ral of the species enumerated in Parts I. and IL, as to which I 

 had doubts, and also those which I had not determined. Some 

 of the former proved to have been erroneously referred, — Mr. 

 Sclater was unable to recognise others. In the present part of 

 the Catalogue I publish corrections of the errors, and descrip- 

 tions of such of the species as, on further examination, I believe 

 to be new. As the species undetermined by me, were unknown 

 to Mr. Sclater, I now feel justified in describing them, and 

 accordingly do so. 



I add some further species, forwarded by Mr. McLeannan 

 (who remained on the Isthmus), since the transmission of his 

 former collections.
