 described and figured in the bulletins and memoirs of the 

 American Museum of Natural History, in New York City. 

 Of all the forms used in the museum publications by R. P. 

 Whitfield, the originals are to be found in the museum collec- 

 tions. Consequently it has not been deemed necessary to 

 burden the catalogue by including them. 



The generic and specific names given in the catalogue are

 considered desirable to attempt to refer them to more recently 

 adopted names given or proposed by various authors.

 specimen is described. The second column gives a citation of 

 the work where it is to be found. The third column gives the
