columns, lines should be {58} ruled varying in distance according to the breadth of the butterflies, and small labels should be pinned down at the foot of each species giving its _specific_ name; the name of the genus being placed at the head of the _first_ species of the genus. The names of the families and sub-families under which the _genera_ are classed are also generally given in their respective places. I have in this little work followed the system of classification used in the _public_ collection of British butterflies at the British Museum, which seemed to me more intelligible and natural when applied to our very limited number of butterflies, than did the system of Doubleday adopted in the great world-wide collection which exists in the private entomological room of the British Museum. The following table gives the first-mentioned arrangement of all the British species under their respective genera, sub-families, and families. The most authentic of the _reputed_ species are also here inserted in their proper places. Fam. PAPILIONIDAE. Sub-fam. PAPILIONIDI. PAPILIO Machaon. -- Podalirius. Sub-fam. PIERIDI. GONEPTERYX Rhamni. COLIAS Edusa. -- Hyale. APORIA Crataegi. PIERIS Brassicae. -- Rapae. -- Napi. -- Daplidice. EUCHLOE Cardamines. LEUCOPHASIA Sinapis. Fam. NYMPHALIDAE. Sub-fam. SATYRIDI. ARGE Galathea. LASIOMMATA Egeria. -- Megaera. HIPPARCHIA Semele. -- Janira. -- Tithonus. -- Hyperanthus. {59} EREBIA Blandina. -- Ligea. -- Cassiope. CAENONYMPHA Davus. -- Pamphilus. Sub-fam.
