44 Beautiful Butterflies. 



Coleoptera, or Beetles, in point of numbers ; in Eng- 

 land, where the variable and moist climate is certainly 

 unfavorable to their increase, there are not much less 

 than two thousand species : between two and three 

 thousand of the Diurnal Lepidoptera alone have been 

 discovered and described all over the world; and of 

 this division of the order seventy-five species inhabit 

 Britain. At the end of the volume will be found 

 a complete list of these, arranged according to their 

 genera, with a specification of their times of appear- 

 ance, and of the places they usually frequent.
