CATALOGUE OF THE BUTTERFLIES OF STATEN ISLAND, 



NEW YORK. 



P.\ W'liiiAM '!'. Davis. 

 i'hou^h the notes from which this cataloi;ue have been com- 

 piled e.xteiul over a number of years, it must, nevertheless l)e con- 

 sidered as only partly comj^lete. Every season has added some- 

 thing of interest in the past and no doubt a number of additions 

 are yet to be made. Indeed the years do not resemble one another 

 to a butterfly collector; his memory is checkered with unexpected 

 visitations of particular species, and he goes afield ever e.xpecting 

 a surprise. Thus to Staten Island, iSSo brought a countless 

 number of the orange colored Tcrias nicippc, and 1S84 of J'yraniris 

 carJiti. In all other respects 1884 was a remarkably poor butter- 

 llv vear.
