no THE BUTTERFLY HUNTERS. 



"There are a great many more butterflies belonging to 

 the Skipper family. One English naturalist describes as 

 many as eighty. I have told you about those which are 

 most common in our fields and meadows, and if you find 

 any others you will always know them to be Skippers by 

 the position of the wings when at rest. 



"This is the last lecture we shall have on butterflies. 

 I have not told you about half of the kinds which frequent 

 our fields and woods, but I have endeavored to make you 

 familiar with those varieties you are most likely to meet 

 with on your walks to and from school. I hope that your 

 interest in the study will increase so that by next year 

 we may examine more carefully all the peculiarities of 

 each insect, and extend our study from those insects com- 

 mon in our own locality to those of the whole world. 



" Next week we shall meet on the shore of the pond 

 for a lesson on Dragon-Flies."
