novo, and here again Dr. Chapman and Mr. Bacot have done yeoman 

 service. 



We have no doubt that one of the greatest objections to this volume 

 will be the fact that it leaves off where it does. We anticipate that the 

 Lachneids will require at least 200 more pages to complete our account 

 of them. Many details relating to the other species still remain to be 

 worked out, and to have included the remaining species in this volume 

 would have delayed its publication for at least four or five months and 

 made a book much too large for everyday use and for repeated reference. 

 It appears advisable that we should publish what has already been 

 done without further delay. We have no further excuse to offer for 

 doing so. 



There yet remains the pleasing duty of thanking our subscribers, 

 without whose kind and generous help this work could not be produced. 

 This we do most gratefully and heartily. To the names of those ladies 

 and gentlemen published in the first volume, the following have to be 

 added —
