1 68 Lloyd's natural history. 



Felder, between 1864 and 1867, and after the early death of the 

 latter (one of the greatest losses that Entomology has ever 

 sustained) two volumes of Moths were edited by Dr. Rogen- 

 hofer (without other text than indices) in 1874 and 1875. Of 

 course, in the case of species of Ondihoptera and Morpho^ 

 even large quarto plates will only hold two figures ; but some 

 of the plates illustrating the smaller Moths contain upwards of 

 60 figures. 



Between 1869 and 1874, Dr. A. G. Butler published a serial 

 work in quarto parts, called ^'Lepidoptera Exotica." It contains 

 64 coloured plates, and though Moths are not wholly omitted, 

 most of the species figured are Butterflies, the opportunity 

 having been taken to include a complete illustrated monograph 

 of the group of Pieridce formerly included in the genus 

 Catopsilia^ Hiibner, or Cal/idryas, Boisduval. (Cf. vol. ii. 

 pp. 228-230.) 



Mons. C. Oberthiir, of Rennes, who at present possesses by 

 far the best collection of Lepidopiera in France, is publishing 

 a finely-illustrated work on the Order under the title of 

 "Etudes d'Entomologie." The parts have no fixed bulk or 

 regular date of appearance, and many ^ of them are specially 

 devoted either to a limited group, or to the fauna of some 

 particular country.

One of the first works devoted exclusively to Butterfiics, and 

 also one which deserves notice as being the first attempt to 

 arrange the whole group in natural order, was that of Jablonsky 

 and Herbst, "Natursystem aller bekannter in- und aus'andischen 

 Insecten." The entire work consists of twer.ty-one volumes, of 

 which vols. i.-x. moXvxd.c Coleoptera^ and vols. \\.-\\\., Lepidoptera. 

 These last eleven volumes were published at Berlin from 1 783 to
