zine, I transcribe the substance of what is written on those butterflies © 
which occur in the North as well as in the South, no copy of the others 
having been taken. The botanical names of the plants have, in most 
cases, been inserted in the MSS. by some subsequent student; those 
which bear the initials A.W.C., are due to the kindness of Dr. Chapman. 
The drawings of the butterflies are contained in the 6th and the 16th 
volumes of the series of Abbott’s MSS., the former comprising the perfect 
insects only, the latter the earlier stages as well. In this article the 
sequence of the MSS. is followed. ‘The Roman characters refer to the 
folios, the Arabic to the figures. Names repeated in the two volumes are 
prefixed by an asterisk.
