The sign having been used so frequently by Liune in the 

 sense of Annual, the lirst explanation which occurred, was, that it 

 might apply to the number of broods in each year, but informa- 

 tion kindly supplied by Mr. Stanley Edwards, F.L.S., showed 

 that this view was untenable, and the interpretation as explained 

 previously was adopted. It may be noticed that Papilio Demoleus 

 appears in each of the collections ; P. Alcmena was first marked by 

 Linne as being in the Queen's collection, but afterwards corrected 

 to the King's, and that P. Pheredus was first marked for thi'ee 

 specimens and altered to two, in the Queen's collection. AVhether 

 any of the Lepidoptera from the Eoyal cabinets ever enriched 

 those of Linne, cannot be definitely stated. 



There are many instances of dots prefixed to the names of 

 species ; what ^\"as meant I cannot say. In a few cases dots are 

 employed tinder the names or numbers, and I have regarded these 

 as equivalent to underscoring, and in some cases there is a trans- 

 ition from dots to underscores.
