Lloyd, who has lately become bankrupt.

SYNONYMIC LIST of BRITISH BUTTERFLIES & MOTHS, by Hknrt 
Doubleday. — This is the only complete List of British Lepidopterous Insects. It con- 
tains the names and synonymes of every Butterfly and Moth discovered in Great Britain 
up to the date of publication. The arrangement is founded on that of M. Guenee, the 
Facilis Prmccps of Lepidopterists. The great object in printing this most complete and 
laborious work is to establish a uniform nomenclature, the diversity hitherto existing, 
both in names and arrangement, being a source of confusion and perplexity to all besrin- 
ners. Not only is Mr. Doubleday’s own collection (the normal collection of British 
Lepidoptera) arranged and named iu accordance with this list, but the Entomological 
Societies of Oxford and Cambridge adopt it in their ‘ Accentuated List,’ recently published. 
Piiee, printed on both sides, 7d. post free; or printed in duplicate (one copy for 
Lablcs and the other tor reference), 2s., post free.
