CATALOGUE 



OF 



MR. DOUBLEDAY'S COLLECTIONS OF LEPIDOPTERA, 



DEPOSITED IN THE 



BETHNAL GREEN BRANCH OF THE SOUTH KENSINGTON MUSEUM. 



EUROPEAN COLLECTION. 



NOTE. This Collection was left by Mr. Doubleday in separate boxes, in which it was not arranged 

 either according to his own system, or apparently on any determined general system, in 

 transferring it to cabinets for better preservation, it has been thought best to arrange it in the 

 order which is now most generally adopted by European Lepidopterists viz., that followed 

 by Stiiudinger in his List. With a few exceptions, which are noted as they occur, this .has. 

 been done with the genera and families, and in the generic determination of species, but in 

 other respects the species stand in the order in which Doubleday left them. 



The Collection is in fine condition ; but, as in all large collections, there are occasional 

 damaged specimens. These have been noted where the damage is important, but minor 

 flaws, such as the absence of a leg or single antenna, have not been specified. 



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

 /. means specimens ; m. means male ; f. means female ; h. means hermaphrodite ; r. (for 

 reversed) means under side exposed; when nothing is said it is to be understood that the 

 upper side is exposed.
