"Tijdschrift voor Entomologie." Snellen van Vollenhoven like- 

 wise published some useful papers in the early volumes of the 

 Tijdschrift, and a monograph of Malayan Fieri da as a separate 

 work. ("Essai d'une Faune Entomologique de I'Archipel

India, 



Little was done by the early writers to elucidate the Lepi- 

 doptera of India; but in 1846 G. R. Gray published a small 

 book called " Descriptions and Figures of some new Lepidop- 

 terous Insects, chiefly from Nepal," and about the same time 

 Kollar described and figured a large number in Von Hiigel's 

 " Kaschmir." 



After the publication of Horsfield and Moore's "Catalogue" 

 referred to in the last page, there was a considerable increase 

 in the interest taken in Indian Lepidoptera, and many impor- 

 tant papers by Moore, Butler, Wood-Mason, De Niceville, 

 Hampson, and others, have appeared in the " Proceedings of 

 the Zoological Society of London," the " Transactions of the 

 Entomological Society of London," the " Journal of the Asiatic 

 Society of Bengal," the "Journal of the Bombay Natural 

 History Society," and elsewhere. 



Besides these, various separate works were undertaken, such 

 as the series of " Descriptions of new Indian Lepidopterous 

 Insects from the Collection of the late W. S. Atkinson, 

 M.A., F.L.S., &c.," published at Calcutta by the Asiatic Society 

 of Bengal in 1879, 1882, and 1S88. With the exception of an 

 introductory notice by Arthur Grote, and four pages of des- 

 criptions of Butterflies figured on the first plate, by W. C. 

 Hewitson, the work is wholly written by Mr. F. Moore, and 

 relates to Moths. 



Two very important works on Indian 13uttcrflies are now in 

 course of publication. One of these, "The Butterflies of India,
