describes T. Polyphemus under the name of Paphia; and as he describes no 
allied species, and referred in 1758 to Queen Ulrica’s Museum as containing 
specimens of his Paphia, I think we can hardly hesitate to regard Cramer's 
Polyphemus as identical with it. Cramer figures Antherea Mylitta, Dru., 
as Paphia, L.; but there can be no doubt that this is an error, although 
some of the figures quoted by Linneus in his later works very possibly 
represent that species.” 
“The date of Cramer's Works.— Cramer’s ‘ Papillons Exotiques’ was 
published in parts at intervals. The exact dates are now lost. The 
address prefixed to vol. i. bears date Dec. 2, 1774; and vols. i. and ii. are 
dated 1779, vols. iii. and iv. 1782, and the supplementary vol., by Stoll, 
1791. Hagen states that parts 1—7 (plates 1—76) were published in 1775, 
and part 8 (plates 77 —96, completing vol.i.)in 1776. Mr. Butler, I believe, 
possesses a memorandum that plates 1—36 were published in 1775, and 
plates 37—48 in 1776. In the part commencing with plate 133, Sulzer’s 
‘ Abgek. Gesch. d. Insecten’ is quoted as having been published in the year 
1776. If plates 133 and following had not been published ater than 1776 
it is probable that Cramer would have noticed the book either as ‘just pub- 
lished,’ or * published this year.’ Fabricius, in his ‘ Genera Insectorum,’ 
published at the beginning of 1777, quotes only the first four parts, or 
plates 1—48. But as Fabricius in 1781 was only acquainted with 216 
plates, there is good reason to suppose that he did not receive the separate 
parts of Cramer’s work as they were published. In the late Mr. Haliday’s 
entomological library, now in the possession of the Royal Irish Academy, is 
a complete set of Goeze’s ‘Entomologische Beytrage,’ including even 
yol. iii. part 4 (Leipzig, 1783, pp. xx. 178), unknown to Hagen. The 
prefaces are mostly dated ‘ before Michaelmas, 17—,’ and contain notices of 
the parts of Cramer which have appeared up to the time of publication. 
Unfortunately this information is only useful after 1779, when the two first 
volumes of Cramer (plates 1—192) were already completed. Between 
Michaelmas, 1779 and 1780, plates 193—276 appeared; between Michael- 
mas, 1780 and 1781, plates 277—336 were published; and the work is 
_ known to have been completed in the following year. A considerable part 
of vols. iii. and iv. (certainly all after plate 252, and perhaps several earlier 
plates) were edited by Stoll after the death of Cramer. As regards Stoll’s 
Supplement, the title-page bears the date 1791; but I have seen a copy in 
the original covers, upon which part 1 (plates 1—8) was dated 1787, and 
the four subsequent parts 1790, although it is more likely that a part would 
have been issued annually; but of this I have no evidence.” 
“ Papilio Hyale, L.—I have already (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1870, p. 141) ques- 
tioned the correct identification of this insect, and I now feel sure that the
