I have had the good fortime to obtain the services of Mr G. Liljevall, who drew 

 many of the plates in the Iconographia, and T am indebted to him not only for information 

 as to those plates, but for bis extreme eare in working ont some of the specimens that 

 he has so accurately delineated in the plates to the present publieation. 



Finally 1 would thank the Aeademy for their acceptance of this lengthy paper from 

 a stranger; and espeeially Professor Sven Loven, Förste Intendent of the Museum, for 

 the very kindly interest that he has repeatedly shown in the progress of my work. 



One pleasure that I should have had, in thanking my friend P. Herbert Carpenter 

 for his ever-ready help, has, ålas! been turned into a great sorrow. He had himself in- 

 spected the Angelin collection and knew well what wealth lay hid in it for the enrichment 

 of his favourite science. This consolation only have I, that it did not require the print- 

 ing of this paper for him to be informed of its contents, and that nearly every new idea 

 of importance in it had been put to the touch of his great knowledge. And now, instead 

 of his help in the search, we who catch from his hand the torch have only the inspiration 

 of his memorv.
