216 TWE^'TT-THIRD REPORT ON THE StATE CABINET. 



One result of these comparative studies is presented in tlie following 

 paper, and others appear, in part, as notes to some of the preceding 

 pages. Keference would further be made to some recent determi- 

 nations by Dr. Speyer of erroneous generic references of several of our 

 Lepidoptera, if we were confident that, in extracting from corre- 

 spondence, we would not be anticipating intended publication in 

 European journals. "Whenever published, we bespeak for them, on 

 the part of our entomologists, the consideration to which thej are 

 entitled, as coming from one who, although his modest labors have 

 not secured for him an extensive reputation in this country, has been 

 pronounced by perhaps our highest American authority, " the foremost 

 student in Lepidopterology in the world."
