Question 5. — (G. T. Bethune-Baker.) 



To which geographical form of Papilio podalirius Linne 

 did Linne apj>]y the name '■'■ podalirias" or to which form was 

 the name "^jof/a/irt^s " first definitely applied ? 



Opinion 5. — Scopoli [Ent. Cam. 167 sp. 445 (1763)] was 

 the First Reviser of the works of Linne and Poda. He sunk 

 sinon Poda as a synonym of podalirius L., Sep., and there- 

 fore was the first to determine the application of this name 

 to the form figured by " Roesel, Papil. Diurn. CI. IT. Tab. 2. 

 fig. 3. 4." 



Linn6 [Syst. Nat. (ed. 12) 1(2). 751-2 sp. 36 (1767)] con- 

 firmed this decision by adopting Scopoli's synonymy and 

 describing the species as ^'JJavescentilms."

Question 6. — (G. T. Bethune-Baker.) 



Are we to consider that Swedish specimens of " rajxie " 

 represent the form to wliich the name Papilio rajme Linne 

 (1758) should be applied ? 



Opinion 6. — Linne's Papilio rapae [Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 

 1. 468 sp. 59 (1758)] was a comprehensive term. The First 

 Reviser was at liberty to x'estrict the name to which form he 

 preferred.
