Appendix I
I have previously called the reader’s attention to our classified list of butterflies and moths, and have hinted at one or two of the objects for which it is inserted. It contains the scientific and popular names of all the British Butterflies, Sphinges, Bombyces, Noctuæ, and Geometræ, arranged in their various families and genera; and in cases where two specific names are commonly applied to the same insect, both are given.
Its chief uses to the young entomologist are to show the relation which the insects bear one to another, and to supply a guide for the proper arrangement of the specimens in his cabinet.
The order adopted is that of South’s ‘Synonymic List of British Lepidoptera,’ and it has already been mentioned that similar lists, printed on one side of the paper only, may be obtained from dealers in naturalists’ appliances. These, cut up as required, supply very neat labels for cabinets or store boxes.
