CATALOGUE 



OF 



MR. DOUBLEDAY'S COLLECTIONS OF LEPIDOPTERA, 



DEPOSITED IN THE 



BETHNAL GREEN BRANCH OF THE SOUTH KENSINGTON MUSEUM. 



BRITISH COLLECTION. 



NOTE. This Catalogue is a mere record of the contents of each drawer of Mr. Doubleday's 

 Collection, in the exact order in which he left them. It will be found that the order in which 

 the species succeed each other is not always the same as that in his published Systematic 

 Lists. This generally arises from the difference in the numbers of individuals shown of each 

 species, which requires a little management to make them suit the drawers without leaving 

 blanks or breaking up the genus into more drawers than is absolutely necessary ; but there 

 are also differences of arrangement which seem to indicate an alteration or modification of his 

 views on certain points. 



The following abbreviations refer to the numbers of individuals of each species, viz. : 

 sj>. means specimens ; in. means male ; f. means female ; r. (for reversed) means under side 

 exposed; when nothing is said it is to be understood that the upper side is exposed.
