Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Natural History of the British Lepidoptera, Vol. 1: A Text-Book for Students and Collectors 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. The trouble to which the author has been put, and the hours of comparatively waste time that he has spent, in compiling the lists of localities, synonymic tables, distribution, etc., and in unearthing recordsof the rarer varieties and aberrations, owing to the incomplete and imperfect indexes of entomological magazines in general and works on Lepidoptera in particular, have led him to index every reference to super families, families, genera, species, varieties, etc., mentioned in the book. It is trusted that this will be found of great time-saving value to all who have need to refer to the volume.

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 department 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.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Natural History of the British Lepidoptera, Vol. 5: A d104-Book for Students and Collectors For the two general chapters with which this volume opens, we have chosen the subjects of Hybridisation and Mongrelisation in lepidoptera. These subjects have so close a bearing on the question 1of Species that we make no excuse for bringing forward, into an easily accessible form, the greater part of the matter already published on these subjects. The wide interest now being taken in the broad principles of variation, fixation of forms, species-development, heredity, etc., is enough to make chapters of this kind of more than passing interest, and to give them considerable value in the eyes of the biologist, as well as the lepidopterist, pure and simple. We do not claim to have exhausted the recorded accounts, but we have obtained all that were known and available to us at the time they were written and printed (now so long ago as October, In order to include some more recently recorded facts we have added an Addendum to our earlier chapter on Hybridisation.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Moths In choosing moths to exemplify some aspects of biology, I am of course providing opportunities for criticism. The material is so extensive and the subject so vast that however it were handled it would always be possible to point out omissions and, doubtless, errors. The errors I shall regret and hope they may not be too numerous, but with the omissions I am in no way concerned. I do not attempt to provide a complete or balanced survey of our knowledge of the British Lepidoptera, or of those aspects of science which they have been used to illuminate. I have intentionally picked merely upon a selection of them likely to interest some of those who love the country side and study or only collect these insects. They may perhaps find added enjoym ent by discovering that they can carry out useful research within the limits of their own hobby.
