APPENDIX. 



CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS. 



Such errors as have been noted in the preceding volumes since their appear- 

 ance are corrected in the following. In a few cases, where it seemed essential, 

 supplementary notes are given. A few new species from the region included in 

 this work have been published since the appearance of volume three. These are 

 noted in the following under their appropriate generic headings, so that the 

 systematic field may be covered to the present time. In a few cases supple- 

 mentary matter relating to certain species is added. 



Since the manuscript of our last volume was prepared, two of the included 

 species have proved to be synonyms of others. The number of species actually 

 treated in this work is therefore 380, instead of 382, as stated in the iatroduction 

 to volume three, page v. Adding to these the species previously mentioned as 

 not included and the ones described since the appearance of volume three, we 

 have a total of 398 described species from the region included in this work. 



Volume I. 



Page 108. The statement beginning on the last line and crediting Hagen 

 with the observation of mosquitoes attacking the chrysalids of butterflies proves 

 to be incorrect. The flies actually observed sucking chrysalids were a species of 

 Simulium. In this connection Hagen suggested that perhaps mosquitoes might 

 do likewise and that this might account for their presence in large numbers in 

 wild regions where but few warm-blooded animals existed* 



Page 190, line 30. For " sporogonie " read " schizogonic." 



Page 202. " The mosquitoes that carry malaria." In writing this chapter 

 we have depended in a considerable measure upon the compiled lists of species 

 appearing in text-books on tropical medicine. Especially does this apply to the 

 Old World species, as a sifting of the extensive literature bearing on this subject 

 was beyond our powers. It now appears that these lists are far from reliable. 

 No attempt is made here to present a revised list of malaria transmitters, for 

 this would involve, on the one hand a critical study of the literature involved, 

 and on the other hand a careful synonymic revision of the anophelines them- 

 selves. Besides, the mere fact that experimentally this or that species has 

 developed the malarial parasites is, by itself, of little significance. In any case 

 the careful worker will go back to the original sources and judge their value 

 for himself. 



SiQce the preparation of our work, careful systematic studies have been made 

 of the Old World anophelines and to these we refer the reader. For the African 

 species we especially recommend the papers of Edwards.f For the Oriental 

 forms excellent work has been done by Stanton J and by Christophers.§ The
