RECORDS VOLUME XI, JAN., 1919. 3 



previous collections made in past years in 

 the Bahamas and West Indies, brings the 

 number brought together up to 200,000 or 

 more. 



A careful study of this large amount of 

 material has not only resulted in the discov- 

 ery of many new species, but has led to the 

 additional discover}^ of a series of facts that 

 have suggested the formulization of a code of 

 laws which govern the evolution of species. 

 Thus this supplimentary volume will be val- 

 uable to all interested in animal or plant 

 life. Notice of this volume, giving its price, 

 will be issued shortly.
