_iiix-.s m his Lepiiloptera of Asia,* since it in no rospect (HUlts from tin; funiiilc of (Jrlii^. The figiuvs 

 of Swainson, thougli brilliant in hue, are not much like the natural colourinf; ; tliis is what Boistluval 

 justly observes in the G18th i)a},'e of his HLstory of LopiJopt«ra, and one may notice it in the manner 

 in which the curveil lines of atoms aiv shewn on the under-siirface of his C. Godartiana. If indeed we 

 could have a {Guarantee that the original is like what !Mr. Swainson lias painted, wi' shoid'l be able tfi

" I am ijjnonint of the habitat of Gixlurtldiia, and if the autlmr did mention it I forgot to inukc 

 A utjte of it wlii'H his work was at my disposiil ; if it shoidd turn out to be Asiatic like his Ponwii't w.' 

 should then have another n-ason for iloubting its identity \rith C. Orbix." 



I have quoted tlie above remarks to shew how carelessly and unfairly an author max U: criticised 

 by those who are ignorant of his species; I suppose few more accurate draughtsmen ever existed 

 than Swainson. JJr. Thon, in a highly commendatory notice of the " Zoological Illustrations" (Entom. 

 Arch., Vol. I., p. 89, IH29), justly remarks that tliis work is "splendid auf schonstes Velinpapier 

 gednickt und mit Farbe, wie wir Deutsche wenig sehen, rein und lebhaft sorgfiiltig coloiirt, keinem 

 •hiiUchiii AVi'rke vergleichbar, ausser einem Exemplar der Insekten lielustigungen von Ri'iwh Hand." 



Dr. lioisduval's supposition has been boldly ailopted by Dr. Herrich-SchafTer (Corr-blatt, i». Ifi'J. 

 u. 3, 1864).
