APPENDIX II 



THE LEPIDOPTERISTS CALENDAR 



THE success of the country rambles of an expert lepidopterist de- 

 pends greatly on his knowledge of the times at which the various 

 butterflies and moths generally appear, and of the localities which 

 they are known to frequent. The experiences he has gained in the 

 past enable him to calculate on the probabilities of the future, and 

 he chooses both time and locality according to his requirements. 



As he makes his way to the hunting ground he counts over the 

 chances of meeting with a certain insect that is wanted to fill a 

 long-standing blank hi his cabinet ; and we hear him discussing the 

 probabilities as to whether this species is yet * out,' or whether the 

 larvae of that species are feeding. 



How different it is with the young and unguided entomologist ! 

 He rambles promiscuously here and there, having only the faintest 

 idea as to what he is likely to see, and perhaps meeting with only 

 four or five species when an experienced collector, without covering 

 a larger area of ground, would take scores in the same time. 



In order to afford some little help to the beginner, I have 

 thought it advisable to introduce a calendar of operations to guide 

 him in his work. The space at our command would not allow this 

 to be carried out in detail, but the general instructions will un- 

 doubtedly assist most of my readers until the practical experience 

 gained by a few years' work has enabled them to run on their own legs.
