EDITORS' PREFACE* 



THE Editors wish to draw attention to the fact that the 

 current volume completes the Appendix to the Heteropterous 

 portion of the Indian Rhynchota, and Mr. Distant has given 

 us descriptions of a large number of forms which have been 

 collected in various localities in British India since the 

 previous volumes were published. A further volume, which 

 will form an Appendix to the Homoptera, will complete the 

 enumeration of the Indian Rhynchota, with the exception 

 of the families PSYLLID^E, APHIDID^E, ALEURODID^E, and 



The thanks of the Author and Editors are due for much 

 help received from various sources in India, amongst which 

 especial mention should be made of the Authorities at the 

 Indian Museum, Calcutta, and the Imperial Entomologist 

 at Pusa. 



It may be added that two other volumes of the Series are 

 now in the Printers hands ; Canon W. W. Fowler's work 

 on the CiciNDELiD^E, PAUSSID^E, and a General Introduction 

 to the Coleoptera; and Di\ N. Annandale's work on the 

 Freshwater Sponges, Polyzoa and Hydrida of India.
