  August 
  22nd, 
  where 
  it 
  was 
  in 
  abundance 
  on 
  that 
  date. 
  The 
  ab. 
  

   sanifidnella 
  with 
  the 
  light 
  costa 
  was 
  by 
  no 
  means 
  common.

  no

   common 
  occurrence,

  15. 
  DanaiJa 
  plexippHa, 
  D. 
  chri/Hippiifi, 
  and 
  Anosia 
  archippus. 
  The 
  

   specimens 
  were 
  exhibited 
  to 
  call 
  attention 
  to 
  the 
  nomenclature 
  of 
  

   the 
  first 
  and 
  last. 
  The 
  following 
  note 
  was 
  communicated 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  " 
  In 
  ' 
  Systema 
  Naturte 
  ' 
  (1758) 
  Linnaeus 
  described 
  an 
  insect 
  as 
  

   follows, 
  ' 
  Wings 
  entire, 
  fulvous 
  ; 
  with 
  dilated 
  black 
  veins 
  and 
  a 
  

   black 
  margin 
  with 
  white 
  dots, 
  Forewings 
  with 
  a 
  white 
  fascia 
  as 
  in 
  

   the 
  next 
  species, 
  chrysippus, 
  which 
  it 
  resembles.' 
  To 
  this 
  insect 
  he 
  

   gave 
  the 
  name 
  ple.vippiis. 
  Unfortunately 
  he 
  got 
  mixed 
  in 
  his 
  locali- 
  

   ties 
  and 
  gave 
  N. 
  America 
  as 
  the 
  habitat, 
  to 
  which 
  he 
  subsequently 
  

   added 
  China. 
  

  

  " 
  The 
  white 
  marked 
  species 
  is 
  the 
  Asiatic 
  species, 
  the 
  one 
  with 
  

   absence 
  of 
  white 
  is 
  the 
  American 
  species. 
  

  

  " 
  Authorities 
  are 
  about 
  equally 
  divided 
  during 
  the 
  subsequent 
  150 
  

   years 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  application 
  of 
  these 
  two 
  names, 
  plexippus 
  and 
  

   archipj>us, 
  all 
  sorts 
  of 
  fantastic 
  ideas 
  being 
  brought 
  in 
  to 
  support 
  

   each 
  side. 
  

  

  " 
  The 
  whole 
  matter 
  is 
  very 
  ably 
  discussed 
  by 
  the 
  late 
  Dr. 
  Buckle 
  

   in 
  the 
  first 
  pages 
  of 
  the 
  fifth 
  volume 
  of 
  the 
  • 
  Ent. 
  Record,' 
  in 
  

   January, 
  1894, 
  with 
  the 
  names 
  applied 
  as 
  I 
  have 
  applied 
  them. 
  

  

  " 
  I 
  may 
  say 
  that 
  from 
  a 
  letter 
  I 
  have, 
  written 
  by 
  the 
  late 
  Mr. 
  

   Jenner 
  Weir, 
  who 
  attended 
  our 
  Society 
  for 
  so 
  many 
  years, 
  the 
  above 
  

   determination 
  was 
  quite 
  in 
  accord 
  with 
  his 
  view." 
  

  

  Mr. 
  W. 
  J. 
  Lucas 
  exhibited 
  five 
  species

  Mr.
