Excerpt from A Monograph of the Culicidae, or Mosquitoes, Vol. 1: Mainly Compiled From the Collections Received The Trustees were fortunate in being able to secure the services Of Mr. F. V. Theobald, m.a. Cantab., who has been unremitting in his labours, and has produced the present work in a comparatively short space Of time. It appeared to me to be important, with a view to the Special Object Of the work, that numerous text figures should be introduced, and that as many species as possible should be represented on an enlarged scale in coloured plates. I employed, in order to lose as little time as possible in getting the work issued to malaria students, a number of different firms of lithographers, and stipulated with them for rapid production. Mr. Theobald responded with a good will to my request for the completion of his work without any avoidable delay, and the consequence is that the student Of tropical disease has now ready for his use a critical monograph of the mosquitoes, to the extension, correction, and improvement Of which it will certainly be one Of his main desires to contribute. A supplementary volume will be necessary at no distant date to record additional species and correct present conclusions. In the meanwhile I shall be glad to receive further collections, as well as notes and suggestions, with a view to the completion and revision of the monograph, from all who have opportunities of studying the Culicidae.
