Here not only are the four-footed butterflies placed first, but, as in the 

 IFauna Suecica, " morio" (i. e., antiopa) heads the list, followed directly 

 by the butterflies most closely allied to it — polychloros, in'ticce, c-album, io, 

 atalanta and cardui, in the same order as they occur in the Fauna Suecica, 

 ^to which the numbers on the right refer. 



In the seventh edition (1748), exactly the same is found on p. (yTy. 



The eighth edition contains no animals. 



In the ninth edition (1756) we find precisely the same as in the sixth 

 •excepting in the first line, which reads, p. 69 : 



196. Papilio. Anteimce, clavatce. le Papillon. 



Not until the tenth edition (1758) of his great work, did Linn^ place 

 the " swallow-tails " at the head of the genus Papilio, in the order too 

 'Well known to require repetition here. In view of these facts, it is worth 

 enquiring : In Linnd's mind, which was a typical Papilio — Antiopa or 

 Machaon ? and was there, or was there not, any reason for specially 

 •selecting Antiopa as the type of Papilio, when it was found, in 1872, that 

 ^by Schrank's first limitation of the genus, in 1 801, it must be applied to 

 •some one of the Nymphales ?
