* The following portion of this Catalogue is virtually a reprint of the list 

 of Irish Micro-lepidoptera furnished to Mr. Birchall, many years ago, by Mr. 

 Charles G. Barrett, who has now carefully revised it, and assisted in adding 

 records of more recent captures, nearly all of which have been submitted to 

 him from time to time for identification. The localities with the initial R. 

 appended have been kindly furnished me by Mr. G. Carpenter, of the Science 

 and Art Museum, Dublin, from a collection made by Mr. Euss. It is possible 

 that in some cases, however, the captures were made about Ballincar, Co. 

 Donegal, rather than in the county of Sligo. The localities given without 

 any following initials represent the original records of Mr. Barrett, 

 without whose valued assistance it would have been impossible for me to 

 have compiled a reliable list. Those with the initial K. are captures of my 

 own, and have been submitted to Mr. Barrett. I have also to thank the few 

 workers in this group who have collected in Ireland and have assisted me 

 with lists of localities, especially Messrs. Watts, Campbell, and Hart. It is 

 regrettable that we are still in ignorance of the resources of Ireland as regards 

 this large section of our fauna, the present Catalogue being meagre in the 

 extreme in every respect, and should not be taken as other than an instalment, 

 which it is to be hoped the investigations of subsequent entomologists will 

 render more complete and representative of the Irish Micro-lepidopterous 

 fauna.
