331 ME. J. R. HENDEESOX— A CONTRIBUTION 



In conclusion I would express ray indebtedness to those gentlemen who have assisted 

 me during the preparation of this paper. To Dr. Gunther and Mr. Pocock, of the British 

 Museum, my thanks are specially due for their having granted me ready access to the 

 collections under their charge and facilitating my work in various ways, to the 

 latter especially for having spent much time on my behalf and for kindly undertaking 

 to supervise the figuring of the new species during my absence in India. I am indebted 

 to Professor Alphonse Milne-Edwards, of Paris, for kindly examining and naming 

 some specimens I sent him, which were referable either to species described by himself 

 or to species of which the types are preserved in the Paris Natural History Museum. 

 To Mr. E. Thurston my thanks are also due for assistance rendered in many ways.
