INTRODUCTION. xlv 



It will be observed that the spelling of the names o£ a large 

 nambar o£ the localities has been changed more or less, and 

 more especially in regard to the letter " c," which is, in almost 

 all cases, replaced by the letter "k." I may mention, howevei-, 

 that I have, when quoting, retained the author's original 

 spelling. 



I desire to express my best thanks to the following gentlemen 

 for advice and assistance daring the preparation of the present 

 voliiine : — Lord Rothschild, and Mr. W. R. Ogilvie-Grant and 

 Mr. C. E. Fagan of the British Museum (Natural History).
