 in earlier volmnes of the Catalogue, by the loan of types and 

 specimens, and in other ways. 



The colom-ed drawings which have been made for him from 

 types of species which are not in the Collection of the British 

 Museum, and of which he has been unable to examine specimens, 

 have been reproduced, and are severally acknowledged in the text. 



The Plates published in connection with this volume are
