Dr. Horsfield, in his work upon the Lepidoptera of Java, has 
pursued a somewhat similar course, having paid particular attention 
to the transformations of the Lepidoptera of that island during a 
long residence, whence the leading divisions of the Weiner Verzeich- 
niss were found to accord almost precisely with those which Dr. 
Horsfield had proposed to himself previously to his becoming ac- 
quainted with that work. Dr. Horsfield endeavoured to follow up 
the quinarian and circular principles of MacLeay, and accordingly 
divided the Lepidoptera into five primary sections, namely, Papilio- 
nide, Sphingide, Bombycide, Noctuide, and Phalenide, without, 
however, venturing to characterise these primary sections, inappro- 
priately named, as it appears to me, as though they were families. 
The butterflies (Papilionide), which Dr. Horsfield has most especially 
investigated, constitute five stirpes, which, in accordance with the prin- 
ciples of MacLeay, he arranges and names from the analogies which 
they exhibit to the orders of Ametabola, namely, 1. Vermiform Stirps, 
corresponding with the Lycenide of Stephens; 2. Chilognathiform 
Stirps (Colias, Papilio, Doritis, &c.) ; 3. Chilopodiform Stirps (Eu-
