On page 3 of the wrapper is a prospectus, stating that the work was 

 to consist of 100 plates, containing the transformations of species ob- 

 served by the author himself, and that a part containing 4 plates, col- 

 ored or plain, was to appear every two months. 



The plates and text are of an ordinary 4to size, and the text is not 

 paged. The following species are figured: 



Name. Pl^te. Col. or plain. Text. 



Saturnia Promethea Dru. 9 3 col. 4 



Dru. S 4 col. 2 



Zeuzera Regalis Fabr. 5 col. - 



Lasiocampa lo Fabr. 6 (plates in text) col. 4 



Danaus Plexippus Linn. 7 col. 4 



" " plain (duplicate) - 



Xanthidia Lisa 8 col. 



(Represents Exirema Nicippe. Cram.) 

 Geometra Domestica 9 col. - 



(Represents ProtMirodes transversata, Dru. var. transpinta. 

 Walk.) 

 ^ Colocasia Zebra 10 col. 



(Represents a Nodua, which can readily be identified in 

 America by its transformations.) 

 The remaining plates are plain, have no text except the names of 

 the species, and only the figures are numbered. 



[PI. L] figs. I, 2 Papilio Lewisii (= P. Eurynnedon, Boisd.) 



figs 3, 4 P. Multicaudata (= P. Daumis, Boisd.) 

 [PI. IL] figs. I, 2 Aglaia Anmilata (evidently a misprint for Annu- 

 lata) (= Pseudohazis Eglanterina, Boisd. var.) 



2, 2a Lasiocampa Designata (= Hyperchiria Janus;, Cram.) 



3, 3a Aglaia Nuttallii (= Pseudohazis Eglanterina.) 

 [PI. III.] Pavonia Iris (= Caligo Atreus; Koll. ) 



[PI. IV.] No names given; represents a setting-board (with Papilio 

 Turnus, Linn, upon it); nets; and the mode of pinning a beetle. 



I presume that Part I included plates 3, 4, 6 and 7. It would be im- 

 portant to know whether any of the other plates which I have enumer- 

 ated were ever published at all, and if so, the exact date and manner 

 of publication, as if published, several of the names used would prob- 

 ably displace later ones now in use. Whether the four last plates were 

 intended to form part of the same work as the others, appears very 

 doubtful.
