 Ireland : there are, unfortunately, so few collectors in Ireland, that one 

 series for this country would probably suffice, even, perhaps, if the Isle of 

 Man were included therewith. The dates could not be printed on labels 

 in series for general use, but these could be quickly and easily written, 

 either on the back or face of the label, thus : — 4.90 = April, 1890. — R. S. 



Eerata.— P. 132, line 6 from top, for " my " read " any." P. 160, line 11, 

 for " Fallon " read " Fallou " ; line 13, " Homopteea.— Fam. Fulgorid^; " 

 should be placed so as immediately to precede " Subfam. Eueybeachydinje."
