THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
maintain for all species the names of 
Haworth, but the insects were so badly 
described by Haworth in 1812, so badly 
indeed that neither Stephens nor Wood 
were able to recognise the greater part of 
them, and their identity has since been 
ascertained by recent investigations of 
Haworth’s collection, and by a careful 
comparison of all the species which are 
found in England with the insufficient 
descriptions, thus demonstrating that 
under this or that species Haworth could 
have meant nothing else. So overstrained 
an extension of the law of priority will 
probably never be universally accepted ; 
but, on the other hand, those Haworlhian 
names should be adopted, of which the 
species w'ere recognised by Stephens and 
Wood, and the greater number repre- 
sented by the latter in recognisable 
figures,” 
The extent of misconception involved 
in the latter sentences is very cousider- 
able ; but we give the passage without 
correction, in order that our readers may 
see how an intelligent German can be 
perplexed by the doiugs and writings of 
English entomologists.

The work contains some useful Notes

its progress through the press, been re-

“ At length we have a complete Ca- 
lendar of the British Lepidoptera, pub- 
lished at the low price of eighteen-pence. 
On the whole we are of opinion that this 
volume will be found very serviceable to 
all that numerous class who have not 
already learned everything by their own 
experience.” — Entomologist's Weekly In- 
telligencer. 
“ In this little work are given not only 
the time when, and the place where, to 
catch our butterflies and moths, but we 
have a dietary for the caterpillar of the 
various species. This imparts an espe- 
cial scientific value to the Lepidopterist’s 
Calendar.” — Literary Gazette.
