chenilles et Lepidopteres inedits." These continued to appear for well nigh twenty 

 years, and constitute in their separate form three handsome 8vo Tolumea, each con- 

 taining about 50 plates. In these papers Milliere introduced many larvae and 

 perfect insects which he had received from Dr. Staudinger when in Spain, and a few 

 that were sent to him by the late Henry Doubleday from Epping ; but many of the 

 species of which he treated in these papers were novelties discovered by himself in 

 the South of France, together with larvse of other species previously only known in 

 the perfect state. 



A mass of valuable notes have been given to the woi'ld in Milliere's " Catalogue 

 raisonne des Lepidopteres des Alpes Maritimes " (of which the third part, con- 

 taining the Micro-Lepidoptera, appeared in 1875) ; a Supplement to this Catalogue 

 appeared in 1886. 



Several papers by Milliere appeared in the " Annales de la Societe' des Sciences 

 naturelles. Arts et Belles-lettres de Cannes " between 1875 and 1879 ; others in the 

 " Naturalista Siciliano " of 1882, 1883, and 1886, &c., &c.
