The Library of the Dutch Entomological Society at Leiden.
In the part headed _Literature on the Subject_ I have given an idea of
the mass of works and articles written about it. I here present to my
readers a list of the different appearances found by me in the works
which I have consulted. Of each appearance I have noted down as far as
possible, the date, the locality and the names of the observers. The
numbers correspond with those in the 4th. Chapter.
