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.

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 An Accentuated List of the British Lepidoptera: With Hints on the Derivation of the Names Our primary object, and our chief hope, is to confer a boon on the unlearned. Yet have we not thought it unbecoming our position to execute a work of somewhat higher pretensions, and endeavour to render an account of the derivations of the names, with the reasons, where any can be assigned, why such names have been applied to particular genera and species. We issue therefore this Etymological volume, as a companion to the Accentuated List, venturing to indulge the hope that it may prove useful to some, and displeasing to none, of our Entomologists.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Natural History of the British Lepidoptera, Vol. 3: A Text-Book for Students and Collectors Contents, I have, in this volume, carried out, that of Mr. Bateson for a comprehensive general index in addition to the one already supplied is more difficult. It is purely a question of time which I have unfortunately not at my disposal. If anyone will do a careful general index to vols. I, 11, and iii, I will publish it with the next volume. Mr. Bateson's further claim on our space for fuller references must also at present remain unheeded. One may fairly claim that few lepidopterological books are so thoroughly indexed, and none has so complete a set of references (synonymic and otherwise) as this. Books like this are after all a labour of love, they can never be expected to pay expenses, and a busy man must draw the line somewhere.

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. T heir own immense collection, the visits paid by Dr. Jordan to all the leading collections on theocontinent, 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. N or 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, Bn'tis/z [voc'tuae and Meir Van'etz'zs, but to assume that a different terminology would have abolished our ignorance is at least open to question.
