with my load, in expectation of high gratification 
from the contents when I should; get home,—and 
truly I was not disappointed; but I disclaim all 
merit, unless you maintain that such is due to every 
one that stands sponsor to a child, if such child 
should turn out a worthy member of society. No, 
Sir, the merit is yours ; the demerit attaches to the 
engraver and colourer, for there are some faults ; 
but upon the whole it has the three great requisites 
to a modern publication,—good letter, good paper, 
and showy plates. 
I find myself very much gratified, as well for the 
present, as for the genteel manner you notice me 
therein, and for which I return you my most grate- 
ful acknowledgements. 
I am in possession of a pair of Papilio Lathonia. 
Until the last time I examined your cabinet at 
Hammersmith I was unable to distinguish between 
Phalena, Padellaand Euonymella: I there saw evi- 
dently the distinctions, and concluded, from the ex- 
perience I then had, that Kwonymella was not Eng- 
lish ; but this year Mr. Haworth has taken it, and 
another person has taken one also. Ray described 
it. You are certainly wrong in naming the fly 4r- 
giolus, Tab. 15. I have both male and female 
among my drawings without a name. -drgiolus is 
certainly different. 
Dear Sir, 
Your most obliged, 
WILLIAM JONES.
