Transcriber's Notes.

This file was derived from scanned images. With the exception of the list of typographical errors that were corrected below, the original text is presented.

In the copy of the original, the Plates were grouped together between pages 328 and 329. Here a smaller version of the illustration was placed beside the text of the Systematic Account listing with a link to the 'full-sized' Plates which were moved to the end of the article's text just above the listing of the Literature Cited. The Plate text contains the notation "× 2" after the caption to let the reader know that the image was enlarged by a factor of two. The images displayed will most likely NOT be in 1:1 scale with the original printed Plates.
