Wings above white; the anterior with a single row of triangular brown spots, 

 touching the hinder margin, and terminating in a point on each nervure in- 

 ternally; beneath immaculate, the anterior white, with a yellowish tint on 

 the outer angle ; the posterior entirely of the latter colour, irrorated with 

 dusky. — " Prise en Angleterre." — Papillons d' Europe, v. i. -p. 209. This is 

 apparently an unnamed species : Godart, in the Encyclopedia Methodique, 

 seems to have been aware of its distinction from Po. Brassicse, from having 

 properly restricted his references to Ernst's figures of this latter insect; but 

 he has totally overlooked it in his account of the genus. Ochsenheimer ap- 

 pears to have fallen into the same mistake, or rather has omitted to notice the 

 fact of a second species having been figured by Ernst, as usual with him under 

 similar circumstances. 



The second insect is a species of Melitsea : the Papilio Tharos of Cramer and 

 Drury.

 Appendix, II. 



Wings above tawny, with several transverse lines, and their margins black : the 

 posterior on both sides with a row of black spots toward the hinder margin ; 

 beneath they are tawny-yeUow, irregularly marked with dusky, with a 

 whitish lunule near the middle of the outer edge. 



" Le PapiUon existe dans la collection de M. Gigot d'Orcy, qui I'a re9U d' Angle- 

 terre." — Papillons d' Europe, v. i. p. 66. Although the above extract does not 

 actually state this insect to have been taken in England, that fact is implied 

 from the circumstance of the editor of the above work having introduced the 

 figure and description thereof as a native of Europe, with the above as its 

 only locality.
