1 From the Author's MS. it is evident that he intended to thoroughly 

 revise the account of this genus ; we have therefore made some slight 

 all erations, preserving as far as possible the actual wording of the last 

 edition, and have added, from the works of Baker, Crepin, and Deseglise, 

 brief notices of most of the forms in the London Catalogue, ed. ix., but 

 have not attempted to verify the authorities for the varietal names.
