SYNONYMIC LIST of BRITISH BUTTERFLIES & MOTIIS, by Henry 
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 Princeps 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 begin" 
ners. Not only is Mr. Doubleday’s own collection (the normal collection of British 
Lepidoptera) arranged and named in accordance with this list, but tho Entomologicaj 
Societies of Oxford and Cambridge adopt it in their ‘ Accentuated List,’ recently published. 
Trice, printed on both sides, 7d. post free; or printed in duplicate (one copy fo r 
Lablcs and the other for reference), 2s., post free.
