Lastly six preliminary descriptive papers have been published by the writer in the l'r dii 
of this Academy and were issued in December INS!), April VM), March and June 1901, June 1902,

It is needless to remark that so large an addition to the LaboulbeniaJes as is herewith presented 
has thrown new light on various points relating to their general morphology and development, and 
necessitates some modification, for example, in the conceptions of generic type th, absolute distinc- 
tions between series, etc. It has not, however, proved ne- ary to modify i enl -lly the general 
account previously given, and in the following pages no attempt will be made to review th. ... rs 
comprehensively, except in so far as they have been modified or elucidated by the additional data 
available. It has been found convenient in this review, to adopt the same sequence of topi-
