THE FAUNA OF THE LONDON DISTRICT. 
LEPIDOPTERA. 
Compiled by Dr. F. J. BUCKELL, M.B.; Edited, with the additions subsequent to 
1S93, by LOUIS B. PltOUT, F.E.S. 
{Continued from Transactions, Yol. 17/7., 189S.) 
Since the publication of the first part of this catalogue, I have had 
to thank several friends for contributing further lists of their captures, 
or isolated notes. The following abbreviations will be met with in the 
present part, in addition to those previously explained : 
Bell =S. J. Bell. Tooting Common and immediate neigh¬ 
bourhood. 
Bell—C. =T.H. Clarke teste Bell; Bell—M. = H. H. May teste 
Bell; Bell—R. = F. J. Robinson teste Bell; Bell—S. 
= L. Short teste Bell. All included in Mr. Bell’s 
Tooting list. 
Bi. — C. A. Bird, Hammersmith within the last nine years, 
mostly in own garden. 
C. = F. M. B. Carr. Lee, &c. 
E. N. = Essex Naturalist. 
Jo. =A. H. Jones. Eltham, A;c. 
Ma. =H. II. May. Wimbledon, Nocture. 
Mu. =C. Murray. Stratford, chiefly at light. 
T. = J. W. Tutt. South-east district, &c. 
I have also received a good number of supplementary records for 
the species in part 1, but I propose to hold these over for another 
year, in order to publish the supplement all together; I know from 
bitter experience the inconvenience of having to wade through a long 
series of petty annual supplements in order to find a record which is 
wanted. 
My revision of the generic nomenclature has, as I expected, been the 
subject of some criticism, and I am afraid the present instalment of our 
list will show at least as great deviations from “ South’s List ” as the 
preceding; I have to a large extent followed corrections proposed by 
Prof. Grote in his various papers on the Noctuid family, and in these 
and all cases I have endeavoured to abide by the accepted rules of 
zoological nomenclature and to follow them to their logical conclusions, 
so that I trust the names employed, some of which at present sound 
so unfamiliar, will soon gain the recognition to which they are legally 
entitled.
