list of British Lepidoptera, issued by Mr. Griffiths, of Brighton, and produced 

 copies of the same, pointing out the neat manner in which the list was printed, and 

 the convenient space left in middle of pages to allow for folding — a great advantage 

 to entomologists, as names are frequently obliterated by the wear of the folded places. 

 The list contained the names of both macro and micro-lepidoptera.
