This second vol. treats of the Nymphalince and Lernoniidce ; it includes 
318 species, making the number included in the at present published parts 
of the work 616. There are many notes on habits, and localities are 
freely given. Both genera and species are described at length, the de- 
scriptions being frequently those of previous, writers ; there are remarks 
on seasonal and dimorphic forms. Much synonymy is suggested, but not 
formally adopted by the author, and these synonyms are not mentioned 
in the systematic part of our record. The plates are autotype, 
uncoloured. '
