Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Natural History of the British Lepidoptera, Vol. 1: A d104-Book for Students and Collectors In submitting this volume to the entomological public, the author trusts that the method of treatment will commend itself. The recent work that has been accomplished in the classification of the Lepidoptera by Chapman, Dyar, Packard and others, has rendered a radical rearrangement necessary. In commencing with the more generalised, and proceeding to the more specialised, superfamilies, the author considers that he has adopted a logical course that will meet with the approval of those best qualified to judge in this matter. It has been considered better to complete thoroughly a few superfamilies rather than to attempt to deal with a large number superficially, and it is hoped that the separate treatment of the main points in the life-history of each species dealt with, will be of advantage to the various classes of entomologists - synonymists, systematists, biologists, and those that study the subject under its geographical, or any one of its philosophical aspects. A large part of a work of this description is necessarily more or less a compilation, and the author wishes here to express his obligation to those authors to whose works he is indebted for information, as well as to the very great number of entomologists (rather more than 200 in number) to whom he is indebted for local lists, and to those who have supplied him with other items of interest that have added to the usefulness and completeness of the volume. These have always been acknowledged, he believes, in the body of the work. There are many, however, who have done much more than this. To Messrs. J. H. Durrant, W. F. Kirby, L. B. Prout and Lord Walsingham, for their help in dealing with matters of "synonymy," to Messrs. A. Bacot, W. H. B.Fletcher, Drs. T. A. Chapman and J. H. Wood, for the vast amount of information relating to the "life-histories" of the insects described, to Mr. G. C. Bignell for notes on the "parasites" affecting them, to Mr. F. Lemann for copious translations from German works, to M. Oberthur for the gift and loan of many rare Anthrocerids, and to Mr. C. Fenn for the generous use of his voluminous note-books, the author tenders his sincerest and grateful thanks. Although essentially a work on British Lepidoptera, it is trusted that it will have an interest for other than purely British lepidopterists. The chapters on each superfamily cover the whole fauna included in the superfamily, and should, therefore, be of use generally to students of these superfamilies. The "distribution" of each species, too, outside the British Isles, is considered separately from the recorded localities within the limits of our own country, and should be useful to students of geographical distribution in all parts of the world. The author is fully aware that in a book containing so much detail, there must necessarily be many sins of commission and omission. He can only hope that these are not serious, and assure his readers that he has taken the greatest care to eliminate them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Natural History of the British Lepidoptera, Vol. 2: A Text-Book for Students and Collectors The general trend of the criticism of the first volume largely resolved itself into a regret that more subjects were not equally fully dealt with, in other words, that the book was not larger than it was. The same criticism will apply equally well to this. We have no doubt that the synonymist will consider that the description of a larva might well be condensed into half-a-dozen lines, and the biologist will urge that the synonymy could very well be left out; the student of variation will possibly assert that the dates of appearance could be neglected, and the phenological student that the description of varieties and aberrations might occupy a much less important position in the work. Such criticisms will no doubt almost certainly be offered by the various classes of students. We suspect, too, that we shall be told that more species might have been dealt with. We can only reply that one cannot get a quart into a pint pot. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Natural History of the British Lepidoptera, Vol. 4: A Text-Book for Students and Collectors There is one point in particular, out of many others, in which the work of these authors far surpasses our own, and that is in their mode of treatment of the variation of the species. Their own immense collection, the visits paid by Dr. Jordan to all the leading collections on the, continent, the loan of types from out lying countries, &c., have permitted them to attempt to deal with this phase of the subject on general biological grounds, and, in some cases, they have thus been enabled to discriminate between the literary type and the biological type, and, having determined the latter, so far as the material allowed, have arranged the various forms round it according _to their assumed phylogenetic connection therewith. For ourselves, our material has been too small and our knowledge too limited to enable us to attempt anything so extensive. Nor must we forget to draw attention to their comprehensive scheme for separating the various forms, but their reasons for Changing the well-known term aberration to individual variety and variety to subspecies appear to us altogether unconvincing. To assume that, because ignorant and careless lepidopterists make an erroneous use of existing terminology, reason is shown for changing the terminology, appears to us unwarrantable. In our more ignorant days we misused the terms variety and aberration, over and over again, and main tained this misuse throughout the whole of our work, Tile Bn'tts/z [voctrcae and tlzeir Varieties, but to assume that a different terminology would have abolished our ignorance is at least open to question.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Butterflies and Moths (British) The favourable reception with which the Out-door World has been greeted has encouraged the publishers to issue a series of volumes dealing in fuller detail with the various branches of Natural History treated of in that work. Necessarily each subject was only briefly touched upon, but the study is of so enticing a character that appetite grows by feeding, ' and the students of the 'out-door World, ' having tasted the sweetness of companionship with Nature, will not rest satisfied with the help afforded by that handbook. Each one will want to go deeper into that particular depart ment which most appeals to his own inclinations. The present volume is written expressly for those who desire to extend their knowledge of the British Lepidoptera, or to use the more popular names, Butterflies and Moths.'

Download or read book A List of British Lepidoptera and Their Named Varieties Classic Reprint written by John E. Robson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A List of British Lepidoptera and Their Named Varieties N o synonymy is given further than the above. The degree of authority to be attached to each catalogue is open to diversity of opinion just as in all else connected with nomenclature. The greater part of the changes recently made by the German authors, are owing to the acceptance by them of Hufna gel's names, which are rejected by all other writers. They are to be found in the second, third, and fourth volumes of the Berlinisches Magazin, &c, published in 1766-7 and 9. If these names were still rejected, comparatively few alterations would be made. Doubleday' 8 list having had almost universal acceptance in this country, we have not hitherto felt the difficulties of nomen clature much. Now that the more scientific of the two leading magazines adopts one nomenclature, and the other another, we are worse than any one, for the capture of the same Species would, in numberless cases, be an nounced under different names in these two journals, and only experts would know what was meant.
