MR. H. N. RIDLEY ON THE 
I N S E C T A, excepting Coleoptera. 
By W. F. Kirby, F.L.S., F.E.S., 
Assistant in the Zoological Department, British Museum. 
Notwithstanding the comparatively large proportion of new 
species in the present collection, it would be a mistake to suppose 
that very many will ultimately prove to be confined to the island 
of Fernando Noronlia. The greater part belong to Orders of 
insects which are comparatively little collected or studied, and 
among wdiich large numbers of conspicuous species remain to be 
described, even from the best explored tropical countries. 
The few Lepidoptera in the collection were taken at an un- 
favourable season of the year, and many are worn specimens. 
They exhibit more decidedly West-Indian affinities than might 
have been expected. 
I prefix to the paper a full list of all the species obtained, 
except a few which were worn, immature, or too scantily re- 
presented for satisfactory identification. They are arranged 
systematically under the orders and principal families to which 
they belong.
