EXOTIC LEPIDOPTERA. 



WILLIAM WATKINS respectfully directs the attention of Collectors to his 

 fine stock of the above. A selection can be made from 100,000 specimens, 

 representing nearly 8000 species. Many quite new and distinct species were 

 received during 1890. For several years past he has received, from Entomologists, 

 Missionaries, and other residents abroad, large consignments, containing New and 

 Ease species; and he begs to say that, possessing an exclusive and wealthy 

 clientele, he is at all times prepared to pay the highest prices and prompt cash for 

 collections containing good species.
