* The following species were collected by the writer in Jamaica, principally in February and March of the present year, (1844.) His limited opportunities for consulting valuable books render it probable that he has brought forward some species which have been described elsewhere, and that he has used names already preoccupied. As he contemplates the publication of a more extended article on the subject, any information from those into whose hands this paper may come, will be thankfully received. He cannot omit to acknowledge his indebtedness to Dr. Binney, especially, for the frequent use of his very rich and extensive library.
