A List of the Butterflies 

 Of Meriden, Conn. 



By Franklin Platt. 



In arranging this list I have followed the classification and 

 nomenclature used by Mr. C. J. Maynard in his "Butterflies of 

 New England.'"*" Except where due credit has been given I have 

 named no species but what I have found in my own excursions, 

 and can therefore vouch for the correctness of the list, if not for its 

 completeness.
