i8o FRANCIS ORPEN MORRIS 



In the eyes of every entomologist Mr. Read's 

 collection of butterflies was famous from the fact 

 that it contained one of the very few specimens 

 captured in England of the scarce Swallow-Tail 

 Butterfly (Papilio podalirius) ; this valued insect 

 was caught by his brother, W. H. Rudston Read, 

 Esq., when a boy at Eton in 1826, and from it the 

 drawing was made for the figure in Mr. Morris's 

 work on British Butterflies.
