Part II. 



EEMARKS 



In publishing the second part of this Catalogue, of which the 

 first part was published in vol. i. (1905) of these Transactions, 

 I wish to make the following remarks. 



I had intended to follow the arrangement of Mr. Moore in 

 the Papilionidse, but his regrettable illness and subsequent 

 death before he had entirely completed the sub-family 

 Pierinse caused considerable delay in completing this family. 



With regard to the Lycsenidae I have generally followed the 

 arrangement of Mr. de Niceville in his " Butterflies of India, 

 Burmah, and Ceylon " ; but when dealing with the Amblypodia 

 group I have followed Mr. Bethune-Baker in his paper on this 

 group published in the Trans. Zool. Soc. Lond., vol. xvii., 1902. 

 I have also divided the family into sub-families as proposed 

 by Mr. Doherty {'^our. Asiatic Soc. Bengal, vol. Iv., 1886). 



The Hesperiidse I have arranged according to Elwes and 

 Edwards' revision of this family published in vol. xiv. 

 Trans. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1896. 



I cannot conclude without expressing my sincere regret at 

 the loss sustained by all entomologists in the death of Mr. 

 Moore before he had concluded his great and exhaustive 

 work on the Rhopalocera of India, 



C. H. E. ADAMSON.
