During tho preparation of these pages my attention was 

 drawn to a ' llepoit of Work of the Experiment Station of 

 the Hawaiian Siiirar Planters' Association,' Bull. No. 1, 

 pt. 9 (H niolulu, lUOG). This part is entitled " Leaf-Hoppers 

 and their Natural Enemies," by G. W. Kirkaldy, but in 

 fact consists very largely, if not principally, of descriptions 

 of Australian species of Fulgoridaj, with some figures and 

 many indications of new genera. It is singular that, as most 

 of the species described in this fugitive report are froin 

 Q leenslaml, there slnuld be so little identity with the 

 species of Derbin;^ from the same locality described in this 

 paper. I iiave, however, carefully studied Kirkaldy's indica- 

 tions of his new genera : those he has figured cause little 

 difficulty ; but those without illustration are quite dilFerent, 

 as in most instances he has scarcely referred to the tegmin i 

 and wings, so important in this subfamily, and thus his 

 ])ublieation is left in a rudimentary condition. The figures 

 liere given will, however, prevent further confusion, and if 

 any synonymy is found to exist, which I doubt, it may induce 

 ]\Ir. Kirkaldy in future to amplify his generic indications.
