reviewed and contains the few Brazier types. Although species are frequently

locality. These series are referred to under localities as “Kenyon Collection.” 2.

In addition the following people have donated or provided specimens for examination 
with localities: Dr. Deland, Manus; Miss K. Hammat, W. O. North; W. R. Steadman,
