" 1 From the Author's MS. it is evident that he intended to thoroughly 
revise the account of this genus ; we have therefore made some slight 
alterations, preserving as far as possible the actual wording of the last 
edition, and have added, from the works of Baker, Creptn, and Dcseglise, 
brief notices of most of the forms in the London Catalogue, ed. ix., but 
have not attempted to verify the authorities for the varietal names. — H. & 3.
