Natural, particular! v among the butterflies 
and moths, 'l’o prevent confusion from the 
great number of species which constitute the 
genus of phaiama, they are distributed into 
sections, and distinguished by the terms of 
bombyces, nociiuv, geometric, tortrices, pyra- 
lides, tinea-, and alueitce. The bombyces 
and noctuie, which are so much alike, that 
the females of the bombyces are with great 
difficulty distinguished from the noctuie, are 
named in a promiscuous manner. 
All those of the geometry have their names 
terminating in aria and ata, according as their 
antennal are setaceous or pectinated. The 
tortrices, in aria; the pyralides, in aiis ; the 
tinea 1 , in ella ; and the aluoitae, in dactyla: 
so that it is evident from the termination it- 
self to what section the insect is to be re- 
ferred. It is to be wished that similar in- 
stitutions could be formed throughout the 
whole science, as here the name itself serves 
to distinguish the insect. 
Butterflies arc divided into sections, by the 
names of equites, heliconii, danai, nympha- 
les, and ptebeii. In such a multitude of but- 
terflies, the greatest part of which are foreign 
and extra-European, and to whose food and 
manner of life we are utter strangers, it was 
impossible to give significant trivial names. 
Linnaius, therefore, by way of simile, lias 
taken the names of the equites from the 
Trojan history. These consist of two troops 
or bodies ; of which one contains the sable, 
and as it were mourning nobles, having 
red or bloody spots at the basis of their wings. 
These receive names from the Trojan nobles; 
and as Priam was king ofTrov, the most splen- 
did anlong these bear his name. The other 
body, ornamented with a variety of gay co- 
lours, are distinguished by the names of the 
•Grecian heroes ; and as in both armies there 
were kings as well as officers of an inferior 
rank, those elegant butterflies, whose hinder 
wings resembled tails, were distinguished by 
some royal name. Thus when Paris is men- 
tioned (knowing from history that he was a 
Trojan; and of royal blood), we find him 
among (hose of the first section ; that is, those 
of a sable colour, spotted in the breast with 
red, and having their hinder wings resem- 
bling tails. When Agamemnon is named, 
we remember him to be a noble Greek, and 
find him among those nobles which have va- 
riegated and swallow-tidied wings. But when 
Nereus is spoken of, we readily know him to 
belong to the last section, having wings but 
no tails. 
'Phe second class, which contains the heli- 
conii, derive their names from the muses, as 
Urania. The names of the sons and daugh- 
ters of Danaus are bestowed on the third sec- 
tion. And as these species are subdivided 
into two other sections, viz. the white and 
parti-coloured, the metaphor is so conduct- 
ed, that the white ones preserve the names of 
the daughters of Danaus, and the parti-co- 
loured ones those of the sons of Egyptus.: so 
that it Is evident from the name itself to what 
section the butterlly is to be referred. 
'Phe names of the fourth section, nympha- 
les, are taken from various nymphs of anti- 
quity ; and those of the fifth section, plebeii, 
are selected from different men among the 
undents whose names are worthy of remem- 
brance : so that by this means a knowledge 
of the antients may be interspersed, and this 
agreeable science be made doubly pleasing. 
ENT 
Those, therefore, who may find new lepidop- 
tera, and give them new names, will do well 
to follow this method, unless it should be ap- 
parent what food the insect chiefly prefers for 
its subsistence. 
EN FOYER, in heraldry, denotes -a bor- 
dure charged wholly with things without 
life: it seems to be a corruption of the 
French entour, round about. 
EN TRIM G-LADI) ERS, in a ship, are of 
two sorts ; one used by the vessel’s sides, in a 
harbour, or in fair weather, tor persons to go 
in and out of the ship : the other is made of 
ropes, with small staves for steps; and is 
hung out of the gallery to enter into the 
boat, or to come aboard the ship, when the 
sea runs so high that they dare not bring the 
boat to the ship’s side for tear of staving it. 
ENTRY, writ of, is a writ directed to the 
sheriff, requiring him to command the ten- 
ant of the land, that he render to the de- 
mandant the premises in question, or appear 
in court on sucli a day, and shew why lie has 
not done it. Of this writ there are four 
kinds. I . A writ of entry sur disseisin, that 
lies for the disseisee against the disseisor, 
upon a disseisin done by himself ; and this is 
culled a writ of entry in the nature ot an as- 
sise. 2. A writ of entry sur disseisin in the 
per, for the heir by descent, who is said to 
be in the per, as he comes in by his ancestor. 
3. A writ of entry sur disseisin in the per and 
cui, where the feoffee of a disseisor makes a 
feoffment over to another; and then the form 
of a writ is, that the tenant had no title to 
enter but by a prior alienee, to whom the in- 
truder demised it. A writ of entry sur dis- 
seisin in the post, which lies after a disseisin : 
the land is removed from hand to hand, in 
case of a more remote seisin, whereunto the 
otherthree degrees do not extend. 1 Inst. 238. 
But all these writs are now disused, as the 
title of lands is now usually tried upon ac- 
tions of ejectment or trespass. 
Entry ad communem legem.' The 
writ of entry ad communem legem lies where 
tenant in dower, or tenant by the courtesy, or 
for life, aliens in fee, or for the life of another, 
or in tail, the lands which they hold, &c. alter 
their death, he in the reversion who has it in 
fee, or for life, shall have this writ against 
whomsoever is in possession of the land. 
Entry ad terminum qui prjeteriit: 
a writ of entry ad terminum qui pneteriit, 
lies where a man leases lands or tenements 
for term of life, or years, and afterwards the 
term, expires, and he to whom the lease was 
made, or a stranger, enters upon the land, 
and occupies the same, and deforces the 
lessor ; the lessor or his heirs shall have the 
writ. And this writ lies in the per, cui, and 
post ; for if the lessee holds over his term, 
and afterwards makes a feoffment, the lessor 
or heirs may have this writ against the feoffee 
in the per ; and if the feoffee makes a feoff- 
ment over, he may have it against the second 
feoffee in the per and cui, and against the 
third feoffee in the post. 
Entry in casu consimiu. A writ of 
entry in casu eohsirfuli lies where tenant by 
the courtesy, or for life, or for another’s life, 
aliens in fee, or in tail, or for life ; now he in 
the reversion, who has an estate there for 
life, or in fee simple, or in tail, shall have that 
writ during the life of the tenant for life who 
aliened. 
Entry in- casu proviso. The writ of 
entry in casu proviso lies where tenant In 
dower aliens in fee, for life, or in tail, the land 
which he holds in dower ; he who has the Di- 
version in fee, or in tail, or lor life, shall 
maintain that writ against the alienee, and 
against him who is the tenant of the freehold 
of land during the life of the tenant in dower, 
&c. and the writ may be made in the per, 
cui, and post. 
Entry causa matrimonii prjeloco- 
ti, lies where lands or tenements are given to 
a man, on condition that he shall take the 
donor to his wife within a certain time : and 
if lie does not espouse her within the limited 
time, or espouses another, or otherwise dis- 
ables himself, that lie cannot take her accord- 
ing to the said condition, then the donor and 
her heirs shall have the said writ against him, 
or against whoever else is in the said land. 
Bill of Entry, in commerce. See Bill. 
In making entries inwards, it is usual for 
merchants to include all the goods they have 
on board the same ship in one bill, though 
sometimes they may happen to be upwards 
of twenty several kinds ; and in case the 
goods are short-entered, additional or post- 
entries are now allowed, though formerly the 
goods so entered were forfeited. As to bills 
of entry outwards, or including goods to be 
exported, upon delivering them, and paying 
the customs, you shall receive a small piece 
of parchment called a cocket, which testifies 
your payment thereof, and all duties for sucii 
goods. 
If several sorts of goods are exported at 
once, of which some are free, and others pay- 
customs, the exporter must have two cock- 
ets, and therefore must make two entries ; one 
for the goods that pay, and the other for the 
goods that do not pay custom. 
Entries of goods on which a drawback is 
allowed, must likewise contain the name of 
the ship in which the goods were imported, 
the importer’s name, and time of entry in- 
wards. Th<j entry being thus made, and au 
oath taken that the customs for those goods 
were paid as the law directs, you must carry 
it to the collector and comptroller, or their 
deputies ; who, after examining their books, 
will grant a warrant, which must be given to 
the surveyor, searcher, or land-waiter, for 
them to certify the quantity of goods ; after 
which the certificate must be brought back 
to the collector and comptroller, or their de- 
puties, and oath made that the said goods are 
really shipped, and not landed again in any- 
part of Great Britain. 
ENVELOPE, in fortification, a work of 
earth, sometimes in form of a simple parapet, 
and at others, like a small rampart with a pa- 
rapet: it is raised sometimes on the ditch, and 
sometimes beyond it. See Fortification. 
PIN V I RON N Eq in heraldry, signifies sur- 
rounded with other things : thus, they say, a 
lion enviromfe with so many bezants. See 
Bezant. 
ENUMERATION, in rhetoric, a part of 
the peroration, in which the orator, collecting 
the scattered heads of what has been deliver- 
ed throughout the whole, makes a brief and 
artful relation, or recapitulation thereof. 
ENVOY, a person, deputed to negotiate 
some affair with any foreign prince or state. 
'Phose sent from the courts of France, Bri- 
tain, Spain, &c. to any petty prince or state, 
such as the princes of Germany, the repub- 
lics of Venice, Genoa, &c. go in quality of
