I do ebook conversions and I never know what to call (for TOC) certain little "blurbs."

In a p-book these are most often found after the table of contents and before the Introduction and/org Chapter one. I'm NOT talking about title page and such.) This "blurb" is often a Quote or Excerpt, etc. I suspect that oftentimes they are used only to fill the blank left hand page across from Chapter one beginning.

I want readers of my ebook to be able to navigate to the "blurb" from the TOC. What would an appropriate TOC entry be?

Thanks ahead of time for your input.
