For the supply of specimens both rare and local, I 

 would again express my warmest thanks to our British 

 lepidopterists, and particularly to Messrs. Louis B. 

 Prout, J. H. Harrison and Dr. E. A. Cockayne, whose 

 generous help has materially assisted the production of 

 the present volume. 



For the generic and specific names Mr. Louis B. Prout 

 has made himself almost entirely responsible. 



I would also like to state that the Rev. J. W. 

 Metcalfe, F.E.S., has associated himself with me in the 

 work, and that it is my intention to publish an account of 

 the Genitalia of the Tortricidce at no distant date, for which 

 volume Mr. Metcalfe has undertaken the drawings.
