VI PKEFACE. 



Sir George Hainpson has to acknowledge the assistance which he 

 has received, mostly from those whose help has heen referred to 

 in earlier volumes of the Catalogue, by the loan of types and 

 specimens, and in other ways. 



The coloured drawings which have been made for him from 

 types of species which are not in the Collection of the British 

 Museum, and of which he has been unable to examine specimens, 

 have been reproduced, and are severally acknowledged in the text. 



The Plates in connection with this volume, which will be 

 ready for publication about March 1915, are numbers I.-XLI. 

 of the Supplement; No. XLIL will appear in Vol. II. of the 

 Supplement.
