Synopses of Butterflies. 
With this number we continue our synopsis of the butterflies in a 
somewhat different form from that heretofore adopted ; we shall present in 
a tabular form the chief differences between the species in such manner as 
will most readily enable the student to place an insect new to him if he 
can assign a generic location to his species. The genera will be briefly de- 
scribed having regard more to their most evident superficial character that 
the scientific limitation. 
Followings the synopsis there will be in each case a Bibliography of the 
species, which there will follow in the order to be adopted for the Cabinet 
arrangement. The Bibliography is not intended to be complete ; we shall 
give the place of original description, the work in which the species was 
referred to the genus in which it is here placed and if possible some po- 
pular and well known work where it is figured will be cited. For a full
