 a considerable loss of time and attention: Dr. Walther Horn, Berlin; 

 Mr. Basil G. Neviusou, 3 Tedworth Square, Lojidon : Mr. Gestro,

 me data on the distribution of the species in their collections, loaned 

 or presented specimens, or did similar service through making exten- 

 sive collections which were exchanged. For this I am debtor to Messrs.
