Subsequently to the Fabrician era, we may mention the 

 following works on Lepidoptera in general, which will come 

 better here than under a more definite heading. 



Here we may include Donovan's three works, " Insects of 

 China," "India," and "New Holland" (1798, 1800, 1805), 

 and his "Naturalist's Repository" (5 vols., 1823-1827), 

 which contain many Lepidoptera, mostly, but by no means 

 exclusively, Butterflies. New editions of the "Insects of 

 China" and "India" were published by Westwood in 1842; 

 but the " Insects of New Holland," which has not been 

 republished, is the most valuable, not only because most of

 because they are really from Australia ; whereas most of those 

 figured in the " Insects of India " are not Indian at all, but 

 South American, or African. 



About 1805 or 1806 Hiibner commenced the publication of 

 his two great works on Exotic Entomology ; the " Sammlung 

 exotischer Schmetterlinge," and the '-Zutnige zur Sammlung 

 exotischer Schmetterlinge." The "Sammlung" consists of 

 439 quarto plates, each representing a single species. Hiibner 

 completed two volumes ; but except the heading of the 

 plates there is no letterpress, beyond an index to each 

 volume, and twelve pages, each describing a single species, in 

 Latin on one side and in German on the other. Geyer 

 published 32 plates after Hiibner's death, forming part of an 

 unfinished third volume. There is no letterpress, except the
