Excerpt from Bulletin of the United States Museum, Vol. 38: Contribution Towards a Monograph of the Insects of the Lepipopterous Family Nucuidæ of Temperate North America Revision of the Species of the Genus Agrotis This work (Bulletin No. 38) is the fifty-first of a series of papers intended to illustrate the collections of natural history and ethnology belonging to the United States, and constituting the National Museum, of which the Smithsonian Institution was placed in charge by the act of Congress of August 10, 1846. The publications of the National Museum consist of two series - the Bulletins, of which this is No. 38, in continuous series, and the Proceedings, of which the thirteenth volume is now in press. A small edition of each paper in the Proceedings is distributed in pamphlet form to specialists in advance of the publication of the bound volume. From time to time the publications of the Museum which have been issued separately are combined and reissued as volumes of the Miscellaneous Collections. These are struck off from the stereotype plates from which the first edition was printed, and in this form are distributed by the Smithsonian Institution to libraries and scientific societies throughout the the world. Volume 13 of these collections includes Bulletins 1 to 10, inclusive, volume 19, volumes 1 and 2 of the Proceedings, volume 22, volumes 3 and 4 of the Proceedings, and volume 23, Bulletins 11 to 15, inclusive. Full lists of the publications of the Museum may be found in the current catalogues of the publications of the Smithsonian Institution. Papers intended for publication in the Proceedings and Bulletins of the National Museum are referred to the Committee on Publications, consisting of the following members: T. H. Bean, A. Howard Clark (editor), Otis T. Mason, John Murdoch, Leonhard Stejneger, Frederick W. True, and Lester F. Ward.
