The Lepidoptera of Lincolnshire. 175 
I acknowledge thankfully the valuable help I have received 
from each and all of those Observers whose names appear in the 
List of contractions and in the Lists; I have also extracted much 
useful information from Miller and Skertchly’s ‘“ Fenland,” ‘‘ The 
Naturalists’ World,’ J. W. Tutt’s “British Lepidoptera,” 
Barrett’s ‘‘ Lepidoptera of the British Islands,” ‘“‘ The Naturalist,” 
“The Entomologist,” ‘“ The Entomologists’ Monthly Magazine,” 
and the ‘“‘ Naturalists’ Chronicle.” 
In the case of common species, I have inserted particulars of 
only one record for the North and South Divisions respectively, 
and that one as far back as I am able to ascertain. 
The list of Contractions were given in the author’s article 
“Lincolnshire Butterflies” in the Transactions for 1906. he 
following are additional or altered.
