under which they are at present recorded in our lists. It will 
require some time to familiarize the tongue with the substitution 
of Basilarchia Astyanax for Limenitis ursula, Doxocopa Herse for 
Apatura Clyton, Papilio Antiopa for Vanessa Antiopa, Incisalia 
Irus for Thecla Arsace, Strymon Titus for Thecla Mopsus, and 
Euphædes Glaucus for Papilio Turnus. It will tax the memory to 
charge it with the names of the forty-five genera in which our 
Hesperidæ are arranged ; yet this, and whatever else is required, 
should be cheerfully accorded, when convinced that the arduous 
work of the author has been properly performed, for only through 
serious disturbance is error to be eliminated. 
Tt will bè observed that quite a large number of the generic 
stoups of Hübner, with a few of Scopoli and Schrank, have been 
reclaimed from their desuetude. This, the author informs us, has 
been done, only after a critical study of the history of every genus 
Proposed for butterflies down to the period of Hibner’s catalogue 
in 1816, and in strict obedience to the laws of priority regulating 
zoological nomenclature. Of the many new genera introduced, 
the characters of two are presented in detail, drawn from the lar- 
val, pupal and imaginal states, to serve, it is stated, as an illustra- 
tion of the manner in which all the genera will be treated in the 
Volume in preparation : these two genera are Papilio of Linnzus 
(having P. Antiopa for its type), and Aglais of Dalman (with P. 
urtice for its type) ; their details occupy ten pages. 
The Classification of Mr. Scudder, exclusive of the generic 
groups is as follows:
