PREFACE.
.
| Tue object of the present Catalogue is to give a complete
list of all the genera and species of Crambites and Tortricites
known to exist in the different collections. The letters a, b, ¢,
&c., after the species, denote the specimens now contained in the British Museum, followed by the habitat and the mode in which each of them was obtained, and the absence of these letters indicates the species which are desiderata, and
therefore desirable to be procured for the collection.
