EPILOGUE 



It is now forty-three years since I issued in Nature and La Feiiille 

 des Jciiues Naturalistes a scheme for an "Index Animahuni" and 

 received in reply letters approving that scheme from Professor 

 J. Victor Carus and Professor Sven Loven. 



In the Introduction to this volume I gave an account of thc 



fmancial assistance I had received during the progress of the work 



and that I here continue. The whole of this assistance since 1922 has 



come from the Trustees of the British Museum, who have made 



themselves responsible for the completion of the work. 



1922-3 £140 1927-8 £225 



1923-4 £140 1928-9 £225 



1924-5 £200 1929-30 £225 



1925-6 i22S 1930-31 £225 



1926-7 £225 1931-32 £250 . 



This final vohmic of the Indcx Aiiimalimn for 1801-1850 contains 

 a notc of all books not Hsted in pp. xv-cxxxi of the Introduction 

 and comprises also in its one alphabet the two separate additional 

 hsts pubhshed in February 1923 and May 1925 (parts il and vii) 

 together with books examined since the later date. 



It prints "Additamenta et Corrigenda" and under this section is 

 inchided a grcat number of misspeHings recorded in the vahiable 

 Nomenclator Animalimn now being issued by the Berhn Academy. 

 I decided against the inclusion of many of these obvious misspelhngs, 

 wlrich do not invahdate the originals, merely encumber hterature and 

 are moreover as fi"equently the errors of printers as of authors. Still 

 on the whole they are apt to confuse even though perfectly obvious 

 and I have therefore included them here (up to the end of the letter L) 

 with any other corrigenda that have been kindly sent to me by many 

 friends at home and abroad. As, however, it has not been possible 

 for me to verify these entries I have given the autliority for their 

 occurrence, and references and dates must be veriiied by those who 

 use them. 



Then foUows an "Index to Generic Names showing the trivial 

 names associated with each from 1801-1850," those from 1758-1800 

 having appeared in my first volume. This has been a severe labour 

 to prepare and type as owing to the frequent use of the same Generic 

 word in various groups the disentanglement of the entries has been 

 difficult. I therefore ask the indulgence of the reader for any errors.
