CATALOGUE OF INSECTS. 727 



Loeffier, Jacob, Newark. Coleopterist, from whom many records were obtained 

 for the first edition. His material was at that time seen and partly 

 determined by myself. 



Love, Dr. E G , New York City. Collects generally, but chiefly Coleoptera, 

 and in this order his records are especially useful, because of the dates of 

 capture which accompany most of them. He has collected at a number 

 of points in the State, but mostly along the Palisades, north and south 

 from Fort Lee. His material has been generally determined by special- 

 ists in the various orders, hence the records are, in all groups, to be 

 relied upon. 



Lt. Laurent, Philip, Philadelphia. Collects generally, yet chiefly Coleoptera 

 and Lepidoptera, specializing in the latter. Mr. Laurent's records have 

 been chiefly in the Lepidoptera, and largely in the families of micros, 

 where his material has been named by good authority. His collections 

 have been largely in Camden, Gloucester, Atlantic and Cape May Coun- 

 ties. 



N. Nell, Philip, Philadelphia. Collects generally and his records are cited 

 by several contributors. 



Neura. Neumoegen, Berthold, late of New York City. Was a Lepidopterist 

 who had accumulated during his lifetime one of the largest collections in 

 the United States. This collection is now in the Museum of the Brooklyn 

 Institute of Arts and Sciences. Mr. Neumoegen collected some inter- 

 esting species at Morris Plains, which are recorded here. 



O. S. Osten-Sacken, Baron R. von. One of the most eminent of the earlier 

 writers on American Diptera. Collected in New Jersey, and published 

 records of his captures are cited by Mr. Johnson. 



Osborn, Prof. Herbert, Columbus, Ohio, State University. Specialist in the 

 Hemiptera. Prof. Osborn has prepared the list of Homoptera in its 

 entirety from his own notes and from notes and material supplied to him 

 by myself and others. All of my material has been in his hands and 

 also the material of some others of the collectors in this order. The 

 Homoptera, therefore, represent not only all that has been actually col- 

 lected in the State, but also the present classification of that order. 



Pergande, Theo., Washington, D. C, assistant in the Division of Ento- 

 mology, U. S. Department of Agriculture. Mr. Pergande has very 

 kindly looked over the manuscript of the list in the plant lice, and has 

 made both additions and corrections. He also sent me the data for the 

 list in Thysanoptera or Thrips, and the whole of that order is, except as 

 to the arrangement, Mr. Pergande's work. I have to acknowledge 

 general assistance in other directions from him, and it gives me pleasure 

 to admit my indebtedness for much general information. 



Pm. Palm, Charles, New York City. An enthusiastic collector of Coleoptera 

 and Lepidoptera who has spent much time in the region about Lake 

 Hopatcong, with which locality his name is most generally associated in 

 this list. Much of Mr. Palm's material has been determined by special- 

 ists, hence the records are, in most cases, reliable.
