* I have here reserved the initials J. M. for species that have not before been described^ or which 

 I have been unable to refer to Buchanan's descriptions ; but I am responsible for all new specific names 

 in this paper, whether such initials be attached to them or not. I may observe, however, that I have 

 been more anxious to identify Buchanan's species than to describe new ones, and to reserve his 

 names than to substitute others.
