ness of the locality labels on the type specimens, and by 

 Walker's manuscript names found below them. 



I have to thank Professor Westwood for the assistance he 

 has given me in furnishing me with accommodation in the 

 Oxford Museum, and in permitting me to take out specimens 

 for comparison at other Museums. Nine-tenths of the mis- 

 takes made by systematic Lepidopterists are made for want 

 of this permission, and, without it, it is hopeless to expect 

 identifications to be made with any approach to correctness. 



I have also to thank Messrs. Moore and Hampson for 

 much kindly assistance, the former in identification of species, 

 and the latter in working out the genera.
