The following descriptions refer to species which I haTe received 

 diiriog the last few years in collections made by Mr, Forbes, Our 

 present information as to the Rhifmhota of Sumatra is greatly due to 

 Snellen van Vollenhoven, whose studies, however, did not extend to the 

 GoreidK of this island ; to Ellenrieder, who alone treated of the F.mtato^ 

 midm ; to varions descriptions by the late Pr. Stil ; and the same, in a 

 much less satisfactory sense, of tlie late Mr. Walker, It will he thns seen 

 that at present our catalogxies and collections of Suraatran Hhynchoia are 

 of the most mea^ and superficial character though we may reasonably 

 hope that this comparative ignorance will soon be greatly modified by the 

 publication of the natural history section of the late Dutch Expedition 

 mto Central Sumatra. [This work has now been completed, and contains 

 descriptions of many species new to science. H. 0. FJ
