  XII. 
  A 
  SYSTEMATIC 
  ARRANGEMENT 
  OF 
  THE 
  EUROPEAN 
  AND 
  

   SOME 
  AMERICAN 
  HESPERIDiS. 
  

  

  During 
  the 
  preparation 
  of 
  the 
  Edwards' 
  Catalogue 
  of 
  the 
  

   Diurnal 
  Lepidoptera 
  of 
  North 
  America, 
  the 
  aid 
  of 
  Dr. 
  

   Speyer, 
  of 
  K-hoden, 
  Prussia, 
  was 
  solicited 
  in 
  the 
  rearrange- 
  

   ment 
  of 
  the 
  difficult 
  group 
  of 
  Hesperidse. 
  The 
  revision 
  

   kindly 
  undertaken 
  by 
  him 
  embraced 
  only 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  North 
  

   American 
  species 
  — 
  forty 
  in 
  number 
  — 
  which 
  were 
  represented 
  

   in 
  his 
  cabinet, 
  together 
  with 
  the 
  European 
  species, 
  of 
  which 
  

   twenty-three 
  are 
  enumerated. 
  These 
  latter 
  could 
  not 
  conven- 
  

   iently 
  be 
  given 
  in 
  the 
  pages 
  of 
  the 
  catalogue, 
  but 
  as 
  it 
  is 
  the 
  

   first 
  satisfactory 
  arrangement 
  of 
  the 
  European 
  forms 
  — 
  the 
  

   more 
  valuable 
  to 
  us 
  from 
  its 
  incorporation 
  with 
  our 
  more 
  

   numerous 
  species 
  — 
  the 
  present 
  opportunity 
  is 
  taken 
  to 
  pre- 
  

   sent 
  the 
  arrangement 
  in 
  full 
  as 
  furnished 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Speyer. 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  proper 
  to 
  state 
  that 
  the 
  free 
  use 
  which 
  was 
  made 
  in 
  the 
  

   catalogue 
  of 
  the 
  MS. 
  of 
  Dr. 
  Speyer, 
  especially 
  in 
  the 
  publi- 
  

   cation 
  of 
  the 
  generic 
  definitions, 
  was 
  not 
  in 
  accordance 
  with 
  

   his 
  intension, 
  and 
  has 
  called 
  from 
  him 
  an 
  expression 
  of 
  

   regret. 
  We 
  hope 
  that 
  this 
  further 
  use 
  of 
  the 
  MS. 
  may 
  prove 
  

   less 
  objectionable.
