The Elenchus (just as the first edition of the Fauna Suecica) has no 

 names of tJic species (I say purposely so, as Linne called Nomina 

 TRiviALiA what to-day is called species name, and Linne called nomen 

 SPECIFICUM what to-day is called diagnosis) but always a diagnosis, and 

 where it was possible, quotations of former authors, viz.,Petiver Museum 

 and Gazophylacium,Rajus, Albin, <S:c. The species given in the Elenchus 

 are just as easily recognized as those in the Fauna Suecica, Ed. i, by 

 comparing the quoted authors and the diagnosis. It follows, therefore, 

 that if the first edition of the Fauna be recognized to have right of 

 , priority, the Elenchus must be recognized to have the same right. 



Now, the genus Papilio is established in Syst. Nat. YA. i, 1735. 'I'^e 



l^^Tvokm?, is the first publication 7vith species (1736) after it, and the first 



Papilio is P. R/iam?ii, quoted as Papilio sulphureus Petiv. Mus. i. Com- 



paring Petivers words and Linne's Fauna Suec, Ed. i, No. 795, the 



identity of this Papilio sulphureus with P. Rhamni is sure. 



I give here the list of the species of the P^lencbus and of the first 

 edition of the Fauna Suec, i and ii : 



Faun. Suec, Ed. i. 



Antiopa. 



Polychloros. 



Urticae. 



C. album. 



lo. 



Atalanta. 



Cardui & follow 



Rhamni. 



Crataegi. 



Napi. 



Rapje. 



Brassicas. 



Apollo. 



Follow ; Einne first (1736) places P. Rhamni at the head of the genus 

 Papilio; second, 1746-48 (the later editions until 1756 are only reprints) 

 P. antiopa at the head, and third, 1758, and following, the swallow-tails 

 at the head, beginning with P. priamus in Ed. x, Syst. Nat., and with P. 

 machaon in Ed. 4, Fauna Suecica. 



In the Fundamenta L^ntomologiae, 1767, 4to p. 32, Linne speaks 

 about the division of Papilio into five classes, devoting more than a page
