 DISTRICT.

The followin,L( List of the Buttertiies of the Brisbane District has 

 been compiled mostly from sjiecies in my own cabinet and which 

 I know to have been taken here, or from other well-auth(>nticated 

 sources. 



The classitication of these insects is not perhaps that of 

 most entomologists outside Australia, but as it is that adopted by 

 W, H. ^liskin in his excellent •• Synonymical Catalogue of the 

 Lepidoptera Rhopalocera of Australia," published in '"Aunals of 

 the Queensland Museum, No. 1,"' and as this catalogue is now 

 extensively used by Australian collectors, it would be only 

 confusing to make use of any other arrangement. 



Probably other species may yet be added as we become able 

 to travel into the more remote parts of this portion of the colony, 

 and possibly new species also. The higher parts of the adjacent 

 ranges to the west, like the Little Liverpool, are well worth the 

 attention of collectors, likewise the Blackall Range to the north.
