Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Insecta Maderensia: Being an Account of the Insects of the Islands of the Madeiran Group
Society of London, I am bound to confess that I have received much useful information and practical hints, - apart from the many facilities of reference which they have most liberally afforded me. To Professor Heer, of Zurich, my especial acknowledgments are due, - not only for the handsome manner in which he has laid the whole of his Madeiran collee tions at my disposal (refusing to describe even the novelties which he had himself discovered), but also for putting me in possession of his private notes, compiled at Funchal during the winter of 1850 and the spring of 1851.
