  I 
  AM 
  indebted 
  to 
  many 
  kind 
  correspondents 
  for 
  the 
  

   material 
  dealt 
  with 
  in 
  this 
  paper. 
  Mr. 
  Gilbert 
  T. 
  Carter, 
  

   C.M.G., 
  formerly 
  Treasurer 
  and 
  now 
  Administrator 
  of 
  

   the 
  Gambia 
  Settlements, 
  has 
  sent 
  me 
  many 
  things 
  from 
  

   Accra 
  and 
  Bathurst, 
  some 
  of 
  which 
  have 
  been 
  dealt 
  

   with 
  in 
  a 
  previous 
  paper 
  (Trans. 
  Ent. 
  Soc. 
  Lond., 
  1881, 
  

   219—288, 
  PL 
  X.— 
  XIIL). 
  Mr. 
  J. 
  M. 
  Hutchinson 
  has 
  

   collected 
  for 
  me 
  atKimbolton 
  (Estcourt), 
  Natal. 
  I 
  have 
  

   also 
  received 
  contributions 
  from 
  Mr. 
  Herbert 
  Druce, 
  

   Colonel 
  Bowker, 
  Mr. 
  C. 
  G. 
  Barrett, 
  and 
  Mr. 
  F. 
  J. 
  Jack- 
  

   son; 
  the 
  last 
  collection 
  as 
  coming 
  chiefly 
  from 
  the 
  

   country 
  between 
  Kilima 
  Njaroand 
  the 
  coast 
  is 
  especially 
  

   interesting. 
  The 
  species 
  described 
  in 
  this 
  paper 
  by 
  no 
  

   means 
  exhaust 
  the 
  material, 
  and 
  I 
  hope 
  at 
  some 
  future 
  

   time 
  to 
  work 
  out 
  the 
  remainder. 
  In 
  the 
  meanwhile 
  the 
  

   present 
  considerable 
  addition 
  to 
  the 
  list 
  of 
  African 
  

   Tineidce 
  and 
  Tortricidce 
  may 
  perhaps 
  be 
  useful 
  to 
  those 
  

   who 
  study 
  the 
  subject. 
  The 
  majority 
  appear 
  to 
  belong 
  

   to 
  well-known 
  European 
  genera, 
  several 
  of 
  which 
  are 
  

   now 
  recorded 
  for 
  the 
  first 
  time 
  as 
  occurring 
  in 
  Africa. 
  

  

  In 
  my 
  previous 
  paper 
  attention 
  was 
  drawn 
  to 
  certain 
  

   genera 
  which 
  appear 
  on 
  both 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  Atlantic 
  ; 
  no 
  

   less 
  than 
  seven 
  additions 
  are 
  here 
  made 
  to 
  this 
  list 
  : 
  — 
  

   Phcecasiophora, 
  Grote, 
  CEta, 
  Grote, 
  Ide, 
  Chambers, 
  

   Polyhymno, 
  Chambers, 
  Strohisia, 
  Clemens, 
  Anorthosia, 
  

   Clemens, 
  and 
  Zarathra, 
  Walker, 
  Some 
  of 
  these 
  have 
  a 
  

   still 
  wider 
  distribution, 
  and 
  will 
  soon 
  be 
  also 
  recorded 
  

   as 
  Asiatic. 
  The 
  genus 
  Philohota, 
  Meyrick, 
  hitherto 
  

   confined 
  to 
  the 
  Australian 
  region, 
  is 
  here 
  recog- 
  

   nised. 
  It 
  is 
  extremely 
  probable 
  that 
  a 
  more 
  intimate 
  

   acquaintance 
  than 
  I 
  possess 
  with 
  the 
  numerous 
  new 
  

   Australian 
  genera 
  characterised 
  by 
  Meyrick 
  would 
  show
