 tluH p.ap<'r. Ill its orijjinal form the references to literature were <j;i\en in footnotes, 

 which made up fully half the jiaper. There were no references to species described 

 in Wood's Afi/rinpoda of Xorth America (1S65), and no synonyms were given. These 

 have been added, together with additional species from his latest published papers, 

 and the footnotes have been uniformly incorporated into the text, believing that 

 this form will ]»emost convenient for niferenc^e. In the geographu; distribution NK. 

 refers to the Atlantic Province, northern part; .SK. to the Atlantic Province, south- 

 ern part; and 1'. to the Pacific Province. — I.. M. J'\i>Knw<MH).
