PREFACE. Vll 



The Council of the Zoological Society have kindly allowed 

 me the use of figures 10, 11, and 13 to 33, which appeared in 

 a paper in the ( Proceedings ' for 1895 on the classification of 

 the Schcenobiince and Crambince ; and the Council of the 

 Entomological Society have lent me figures 241, 243, 244, 

 248, 251, 253, 254, 259, 262, 268, 270, 272, 274, 279, 282, 

 and 287, which appeared in their ' Transactions' for 1895. 



I have again to thank all those who have so kindly 

 assisted me during the progress of the work — both the 

 Collectors in India, who have liberally supplied me with 

 specimens and information, and the owners of Collections in 

 England, who have put the whole of their material freely at 

 my disposal. The names of most of those who have aided 

 me have been mentioned in the prefaces to the other three 

 volumes, and I have also to express my thanks to Surg. -Col. 

 J. Gr. Pilcher in Sikhim and Mr. J. Pole in Ceylon, who 

 have sent to me valuable collections during the last two 

 years.
