* In the arrangement of tbe Mniotiltidcs I have followed Professor Eidgway's 

 recent work, wherein the characters of the various genera have been very carefully 

 elucidated. Only in a few instances have I ventured to vary his arrangement, and 

 then merely in certain minor details, while the facts of geographical distribution 

 published by him have been of the greatest assistance to me. 



It should be noted that lihodinoeicUa, which I refer to the MimidtB (Hand-1. B. 

 vol iv. p. 109), is considered by Prof. Ridgway to belong to the Cixrcbidm {cf. B. of 

 North and Middle America, ii. p. 769).
