distance north of the Vermont line, where 
he seems to have lived two or three years, 
about 1837. In Alabama, to which he went 
from Canada, he lived as a teacher on a 
plantation at Pleasant Hill, a little south of 
Selma, near the centre of the state; and his 
letters from here were written to a journal 
called the Home friend, and afterwards col- 
lected in the volume mentioned. A large 
portion of both books is devoted to ento- 
mology, and they are full of original obser- 
vations. The list given below may be con- 
sidered an index to his notes upon the butter- 
flies, showing the species discussed, with 
references to pages and wood-cuts, and a 
brief memorandum of the scope of his ob- 
servations. The names are those employed 
by him (with his peculiarities of spelling), 
and when the species intended is not at once 
clear to one familiar with the synonymy of 
our butterflies, the correct name is added in 
brackets. The references following the letter 
C are to the Canadian naturalist, those fol- 
lowing A to the Letters from Alabama.
