PREFACE.

The want of uniformity in the pronunciation of scien¬
tific names, and the consequent difficulty of communica¬
tion between the less-educated, but often more practical,
men of science, is an admitted evil. To afford a remedy,
so far as Lepidopterology is concerned, and for the
especial use and benefit of those to whom circumstances
have denied the advantage of a classical education, while
their inborn love of Natural History has led them to
the study of this Order of Insects, we have published
“ An Accentuated List of the British Lepidoptera.”

It has been urged upon us that we ought to have
given all the synonymic names. Undoubtedly the in¬
vestigation of synonyms is an important part of the
work of those who undertake the labour of classification,
but it does not come within the scope of our present
intention. Our aim is only to effect a uniform, and,
as far as may be, a correct, pronunciation of a Nomencla¬
ture already established by competent authority. For
synonyms we refer to Doubleday’s “ List,” and Stainton’s
“ Lep. Britann. Tineina,” from which our series of names
is principally derived. To Mr. Doubleday our warmest
thanks are due, for his kindness in supplying us with a
MS. copy of a considerable portion of his forthcoming
Catalogue.

PREFACE.

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.

Linne, the author of that binary system of Nomen¬
clature which has now been adopted in every depart¬
ment of the Natural History of organized beings, lays
down various maxims for regulating the selection of
names. His object was to exclude barbarism and con¬
fusion ; nevertheless many names given by Linne himself
are fanciful enough, and not peculiarly applicable—they
are casual or arbitrary appellations. His precept con¬
cerning the formation of the names of species is one of
considerable latitude; for, when the name of the genus
is assigned, the species, he says, may be marked by
adding to it a nomen triviale, “ a single word taken at
will from any quarter.” Such names, whether appro¬
priate or not, when once established by adequate au¬
thority, soon lose their inconvenience: and accordingly it
is now recognized as a Rule, that, in every case, the trivial
name first published shall be retained, and all later
synonyms rejected. While giving in, with all readi¬
ness, our adhesion to the spirit of this Rule, we do not
interpret it with that literal strictness in which it has
been understood by its most zealous supporters, and
have therefore ventured slightly to alter a few of the

names, where misprinting or misspelling has marred
the author’s intention and obscured his meaning. We
have not presumed to make any great change, or to
recoin a word, solely because it was barbarous and
malformed: in fact, our alterations are confined for the
most part to the insertion, rejection, or variation of
single letters, in cases where the error was manifestly a
typographical one; or, in cases where a species derives
its name from some locality or person, to effecting an
accordance between the title of the insect and the name
of the place, or of the Entomologist, in whose honour,
and to perpetuate whose fame, the insect has thus been
christened. In all such instances, the misnomer by
which the insect has been denoted is given in square
brackets immediately after the corrected form of the
name.

It would savour too much of pedantry to insist upon
the invariable hard pronunciation of the c and g. That
the Greek x and y were always pronounced hard is not
doubted; and some have maintained that the same rule
applied to the Roman c and g : but on this point we
have deferred to prevailing custom, and have usually
softened those letters before the vowels e, i, and y.

In one case we have not ventured to lay down a rule,
viz. as regards the accentuation of quadrisyllabic words
in which the penultimate and antepenultimate are both
short. Take, e. g., Cassiope and Corticea: in words
like the former of these, in which the last syllable is
long, there is no greater difficulty of pronunciation in
laying the stress upon the first syllable than upon the
second, and this is particularly the case in those words
in which the vowel i can assume the power of y. Latin
scholars are divided as to the proper accentuation of

PREFACE.

mulieres, Tulliola, and other such words : though custom
is in favour of muli'eres, mul'ieres appears to he more
correct. But this point, on which so great difference of
opinion exists, we leave each Entomologist to decide for
himself.

It will be observed that " all vowels are to be pro¬
nounced short, except when marked long.” Thus, our
use of the sign (-) is orthophonic, rather than prosodic;
and we have avoided altogether the use of the sign (^).
As was stated at the outset, our primary object is to
produce an accentuated List for the benefit of the less
learned Entomologists: to such, the multiplicity of
symbols would seem confusion, and we have therefore
striven to introduce as few signs as possible, hoping to
make the List intelligible to all, and thereby to render
some assistance towards the attainment of that consum¬
mation so much to be desired, a uniform pronunciation
of the names of the British Lepidoptera.

May we be allowed, in conclusion, to ask the attention
of scientific authors and Nomenclators to the following
considerations ?

1. Although the name of an insect is to be regarded
as a mere name , and not as a compendious description,
yet it is desirable that it should denote some peculiarity,
or express some property or habit, pertaining to that
particular insect.

2. It is convenient to form generic names from the
Greek, specific names* from the Latin.

* The term “specific name ” is now so commonly adopted, that the
time for protesting against its use has perhaps gone by. It is easy to see
that it had its origin in the desire of making the adjective belonging to
the noun species homoeoteleutan with that belonging to genus : nor is it
less easy to see that this desire has led to the misapplication of a word.

PREFACE.

3. That the names should be formed on the analogy
of existing Greek or Latin words: but that it is ad¬
visable to maintain a uniformity of termination through¬
out each Tribe, to assist the memory.

4. Names taken from localities commonly become
inappropriate, from the occurrence of the species in
other places: and names taken from persons should not
be lightly applied. This distinction should be reserved
for those whose works and scientific labours give them a
claim to the admiration of posterity.

November 1858.

For, specific (from species, facere) is that which makes a thing of the
species of which it is ; while that which notes a species is special. Thus,
“ special name,” not “ specific name,” is strictly correct. Since both
these adjectives are in common use, with significations different from one
another and from either of the above, it would perhaps be well (if the
compound “ species-name ” be considered open to objection) to retain the
Linnsean designation “ trivial name.”

WHOSE NAMES ARE ADOPTED IN THE CATALOGUE.

Bechstein, Johann Matthias, born in 1757, at Waltershausen,
in Gotha, where he originated a school of natural
history; he afterwards removed to the Court of the
Duke of Saxe-Meiningen, and presided over an esta¬
blishment for the advancement of natural history and
hunting. He died in 1810. Bechstein was the author
of “ Naturgeschichte der in- und auslandischen Insecten ”
(Nuremberg, 1793), “ Naturgesch. der schadlichen Wald-
insecten” (1798), “Naturgesch. aller schadl. Forstin-
secten ” (Leipsic, 1803-5, in conjunction with Scharfen-
berg), and of many other works on almost every branch of
Zoology.

Bedell, George, of London, an assiduous collector of British
Lepidoptera; with the exception of some communica¬
tions to “ The Zoologist,” is not known as an author.

Bentley, William, was a working optician in London, a
most persevering and successful collector of British
Lepidoptera, in conjunction with Mr. Chant; was com¬
pelled from ill-health to give up the pursuit, and his
collection is now in the possession of Mr. Edwin Shep¬
herd (Sec. Entom. Soc. Lond.). Bentley has written
little; but one or two papers by him will be found in
the early volumes of “ The Zoologist.”

Bjerkander, Claudius, born in ] 735, was Pastor of Gref-
back, in Westrogothland, Sweden, and died in 1795.
In the “ Svenska Yetenskaps Akademiens Handlingar ”
are several papers by this author, on Botany, on various
destructive larvae, and containing Calendars of Insects
and descriptions of new species.

Eoisduval, Dr. Jean Alphonse, of Paris, born in 1801, edu¬
cated at the Medical School of Paris, and took his M.D.
in 1828, is a Member of the Legion of Honour, of the

Soc. N. H. of Moscow. Is the author of numerous works,
of which the chief are “ L’Histoire Naturelle des Insectes
Lepidopteres; Species general des Lepidopteres (Suites
a Buffon)” (1836), and “ Genera et Index Methodicus
Europ. Lepidop.” (1840). Dr. Boisduval confines his
attention to Lepidoptera, of which he possesses one of
the finest collections in existence: his works are cha¬
racterized by a very extensive knowledge of species, but
also by the want of attention to those minute structural
details which the present state of science demands, his
characters being almost always taken from the external
parts of the insects.

Borkhausen, Moritz Balthasar, born in 1732, held various
offices under the government of Hesse Darmstadt, and
was finally Kammerrath in the Oberforst-Collegium.
In conjunction with Brahm, he edited the “ Rheinisches
Magazin zur Erweiterung der Naturkunde ” (begun in
1793), and published in that periodical “ Entom. Be-
merk. und Berichtigungen,” “ Ornithologie von Ober-
Hessen,” &c. He was also author of a “ Yersuch einer
Erklarung der zoologischen Terminologie ” (1790), and
of “Deutsche Fauna” (1797): his chief work on Lepi¬
doptera is “ N aturgesch. der Europ. Schmetterlinge,
nach syst. Ordnung ” (Frankfort, 5 vols., 1788-94), a
work comprehensive and complete, valuable for its suc¬
cinct descriptions, and the emendation of the synonymy
of the species. Borkhausen died in 1807.

Bose, Louis Augustine Guillaume Bose (ci-devant d’Antic),
born in Paris, in 1759; was originally intended for the
army, but obtained employment in the French Post-
Office : his collection of insects is said to have contained
6000 species. Being driven from the capital by the
Revolution of 1793, he studied Natural History in various
parts of Europe and America; was the author of the
Articles on “Erpetologie ” in the “ Nouveau Diet. dHIist.
Naturelle,” of “Hist. Nat. des Insectes” (continuation
of Buffon), “Hist. Nat. des Coquilles” (1801), “Hist.
Nat. des Vers” (1802), “Hist. Nat. des Crustages ”
(1802), &c. Bose died in 1828 : after his decease, his
collection was obtained by the Administration of the
Jardin des Plantes.

Bouche, P. F., a market-gardener near Berlin, author of
“Naturgesch. der schadlichen und niitzlichen Garten -
Insekten” (Berlin, 1833), “Naturgesch. der Insekten ”
(1834) ; and of “ Beitrage zur lnsektenkunde,” “ Be-

Clerck, Karl, a Swedish entomologist, the precise dates of
whose birth and death are not known : he was the friend
and disciple of Linne, and a Member of the Royal Acad,
of Sciences at Upsala. His chief works are “ Aranei

revision of it has lately appeared in the Entom. Zeitung
of the Stettin Society.

Curtis, John, F.L.S., late Pres. Ent. Soc. of London, born in
Norfolk, and originally employed near Norwich as an
entomological artist: not content with merely drawing-
insects, Mr. Curtis studied their forms and habits, and
made a Collection of all Orders of British and foreign
Insects : in 1829 he published “ A Guide to the Arrange¬
ment of British Insects,” and between 1824-40 appeared,
in 16 vols. 8vo, the “British Entomology,” a work allowed
on all hands to contain some of the best entomological
figures existing. Mr. Curtis is also the author of nume¬
rous papers in the Entomological Magazine, in the Trans¬
actions Zool. Soc. and Linn. Soc., the Ann. of N. Hist.,
and in the Joum. Agric. Soc. of Eng., on the Nat. Hist,
and (Economy of Insects affecting the Crops: the last-
mentioned papers, illustrated by a large number of plates
representing the various species of insects obnoxious to
the horticulturist and agriculturist, are now in course of
republication.

neumonidse) : author of “Notes on the Genus Peronea ”
and other communications to The Zoologist, of papers in
The Entomologist, The Entom. Mag., Trans. Ent. Soc.
Lond., and of the “ Catalogue of British Ichneumonidm

Donovan, Edward, born about 1770, author of “Natural
History of British Insects ” (London, 16 vols., 1792-
1803), “Epitome of Nat. Hist, of Insects of New Holland,
and the Islands of the Indian, Southern, and Pacific
Oceans” (1803), “Nat. Hist, of Insects of China” (1798),
“Epitome of Nat. Plist. of Insects of India” (1800-4)'
But it was not to Entomology alone that Donovan di¬
rected his attention: he published a “Natural Historv
of British Birds” (1792-97), “Nat. Hist, of Br. Shells ”
(1799), “Nat. Hist, of Br. Fishes” (1808), and “Nat.
Hist, of Br. Quadrupeds” (1823), together with other
works. Though he laboured so much in the cause of
science, he died in destitute circumstances in 1837.
Donovan’s fame as an Entomologist must rest entirely
on his artistic merits and his wonderful skill in colours.
Some of his figures (in the early impressions of his
works), such for instance as Curculio regalis, Papilio
Ulysses, &c., are perfect gems of colour. His drawings
for Rees’s Cyclopaedia were indeed exhibited in public.
Elsewhere, however, we must look for scientific detail.
He was, in fact, incapable of appreciating the growth of
science, as developed by Latreille, Leach, &c., during the
first forty years of the present century; and amongst
his unpublished MSS., preserved in the Hopeian Library,
are many invectives, especially against Leach, as well as
Haworth, whom he always regarded with the jealousy of
a rival. His copy of the “ Lepidoptera Britannica ” of
Haworth, also in the Hopeian Library, is full of once
bitter, but now amusing remarks against his adversary.

He had formed large collections for a work on Fossil
Crustaceology, the materials for which, as well as num¬
bers of his original drawings, are in the Hopeian Col¬
lection. Donovan had, however, a more extended genius,
and his “ Tour through South Wales” is still one of the
best archaeological works on that part of the Principality.
He had also studied Chinese, as may be seen by nume¬
rous quotations in his “Naturalist’s Miscellanyand
various curious illustrated Chinese works on Astronomy,
Astrology, Natural History, &c., with his marginal notes,

Lamouroux. Esper died at Erlangen in 1810, and his
collection, which was particularly rich in Lepidoptera and
Zoophytes, is now in the Museum of that University.

Eversmann, E., Professor at Casan, has written several
papers which have appeared in the Bulletins de la Soc.

siderable portion of the impression having been destroyed
by fire.

Fabricius, Johann Christian, born in 1745 at Tondem, in
Schleswig: in 1761 his father was appointed physician
to one of the Copenhagen hospitals, and young Fabri¬
cius consequently became a student of the Univer¬
sity in the Danish capital, but was afterwards sent, in
company with Zoega, to Upsala. “ I always look back to
that period with great delight and warm feelings of
gratitude towards my great master, Linnaeus, who was
to us like a father.... Linnaeus in his lectures under¬
stood the art of encouraging youth in the study of
science, and in his intercourse and conversation he was
inexhaustible in all kinds of anecdotes and observations.
He visited us daily both in the country and in town, and
enriched our minds during several hours of delightful in¬
struction, which was to him a recreation, while speaking
to us on his favourite science, botany. He properly laid
the foundation of our knowledge, and imprinted on our
minds the systematic order with which the study of the
sciences ought to be pursued, and that accuracy of ex¬
pression which so peculiarly distinguishes the Linnsean
school;—Zoega devoted himself to the study of the
various kinds of mosses, / to that of insects, and Linnaeus
always rejoiced when we brought him anything new,
or when he could communicate to us some new informa¬
tion on those subjects. Revered and cherished will his
memory ever be by me*.” In 1765, Fabricius went
to Leipsic to hear the lectures of Prof. Schreber on
Economics; in 1766 to Leyden; and in the following
year travelled through Scotland and England : in London
he formed an intimate acquaintance with Dr. Solander:

“ in the forenoon we were daily engaged in the British
Museum; we dined together, and passed our evenings in
a cheerful circle of acquaintance. To him I am indebted
as well for the benefit as the pleasure I enjoyed during
my stay in England.” The libraries and collections of
all the English naturalists were thrown open to Fabricius,
who determined and described the insects, and arranged
the species of the collections. At the end of 1768,
“ although unwillingly, I at last left London and went
to Paris ; but I had become too much of an Englishman
to be able to relish France, much less Paris. I was,

however, received with great kindness by Geoffroy.

still I was inconsiderate enough to despise everything
because it was not English* My foolish discontent in¬
creased daily; and as I from my childhood had been
accustomed to indulge my fancies, I left Paris as early as
December, and travelled by Lyons, Nismes, Montpellier,
Marseilles, Antibes, to Italy, and then proceeded by
Nice, Cone, Turin, Milan, Verona, and Padua, to
Venice .... In Nismes I met with Seguier, and, more
particularly at Turin, the celebrated naturalist, Allioni;
.... from Venice I made a short trip to Bologna, to
examine the Aldrovandine collection. ... Very early in
the spring I went to Idria, partly to see the quicksilver-
mines which are there, and partly to get acquainted with
Scopoli, who at that time was one of the first ento¬
mologists living. From Idria I crossed the Tyrolean
Mountains, visited Innspruck, Halle, Swatz, and passed
through Munich, Regensburg, and Stuttgard, to Tu¬
bingen. .. . From Tubingen I travelled through part of
Switzerland to Strasburg.... after remaining some weeks
there, I travelled to Hamburg, and returned at last to
Copenhagen.” During his absence Fabricius had been
appointed “ Professor of Economy of the Natural-History
Theatre of Charlottenburg,” and in the winter after his
return began to give lectures on Political Economy; but
in 1771 the Nat.-Hist. Theatre was abolished. “ From
1772-75 I spent the winters in Copenhagen, and the
summers in London. My friends Mr. (afterwards Sir
Joseph) Banks and Dr. Solander had returned from
their voyage round the world, and had brought with them
innumerable specimens of natural history and insects.

Linnsean Society of London, arranged according to the
latest works of Fabricius.] I now lived very plea¬
santly. With Banks, Hunter, and Drury I found plenty

of objects to engage my time, and everything which
could possibly be of service to me. My situation was
not only very delightful, but it afforded the means of
gaining much instruction. In 1775, at Easter, during
the great fair at Leipsic, my ‘ Systema Entomologiae ’
appeared. Entomology was at that period in its infancy.
We had then only the ‘ Systema ’ of Linnaeus, whose
classification, derived from the wings of insects, was not
the most natural, and his species were very imperfectly
defined.... In my System I made use of the organs of
manducation as marks of distinction for my classes and
species; and in spite of all its faults, which arise from the
smallness of those parts, my classes were far more
natural, my species were more numerous and more ably
defined, and the number of described genera considerably
greater. I at the same time extended the Orismology,
fixed its significations with greater accuracy, and intro¬
duced the concise language of the Linnsean school in
this department of natural history.” In 1775 Fabricius
accepted the Professorship of Natural History, Economy,
and Finance, in the University of Kiel. “ Although I
found myself pleasantly situated, I soon perceived that
all means for the furtherance of my favourite science
were wanting.... I should soon have retrograded in
Entomology if I had not recommenced travelling. In
1776 I published the ‘ Genera Insectorum/ which con¬
tained the natural definitions of the species; and in
1778 the ‘ Philosophia Entomologiea/ in which I endea¬
voured to determine the theoretical principles of Ento¬
mology with greater accuracy. In the summer of 1778
I joined company with Prof. Weber in a tour to Norway :
that gave rise to the publication of the ‘Reise nach
Norwegen/ which made its appearance in 1779.... In
1780 I again went to England, where the different col¬
lections had been considerably enriched since my last
sojourn there. On this journey I wrote, during my
leisure hours, the little volume entitled ‘Ueber die
Yolksvermehrung, insonderheit in Danemarck/ which
appeared in 1781.... In 1782 the ‘ Species Insectorum ’
appeared, in two vols., as a continuation of the ‘ Systema/
.... In 1784 I travelled with my wife and daughter
through most of the provinces of Germany to Vienna.
The principal object of this tour was to form an acquaint¬
ance with the authors of the ‘ Yerzeichniss der Schmet-
terlinge der Wiener Gegend/ and inspect the collec¬
tions ; they were to me highly important. In 1786

I went by water to St. Petersburg, hoping there to
increase my knowledge from visiting the collections of
the many scientific men who had travelled through the
Russian provinces; but I found much less than I expected.
.... In 1787 I published the ‘ Mantissa Insectorum/ in
two vols., which contained more particularly the correc¬
tions and additions which I obtained on my travels to
Vienna and Petersburg. In the summer I again went
with all my family to England.... In 1790 I travelled
with my wife and daughter to Paris, partly because I
knew from intelligence sent me by Olivier that the
Parisian cabinets contained a considerable number of
insects with which I was unacquainted, and partly
because I wished to be fully informed respecting the new
order of things which had been introduced by the Revolu¬
tion. I was received with distinguished attention and
friendship. Desfontaines, Jussieu, Bose, Parmentier,
Riche, Sylvestre, Fourcroy, Brongniart, Olivier, Thouin,
Billardiere, Broussonet, and others, opened to me all
their collections, and by their friendship and kindness
contributed much to make my residence there both agree¬
able and instructive. I moreover formed an intimate
acquaintance with some of the leaders of the Revolution;
I often attended both the National Assembly and the
Jacobin Club, and witnessed nearly all the scenes of the
Revolution which took place. On the whole, my resi¬
dence at Paris was interesting to me. .. . From 1792-94
appeared the ‘ Entomologia Systematica/ in 6 vols.: it is
a further exposition, augmentation, and improvement of
the ‘ Systema Entomologise.’ .... In 1798 I published
a supplementary volume with additions and improve¬
ments.” A portion of each of these years was spent in
a trip to Paris. “ From 1798-1804 I went in the spring
to Copenhagen, purposely to describe the many new
insects which my particular friends and former pupils,
Chamberlain, Sehestedt, and Lund, in their real zeal for
science had collected.” [The Lund and Sehestedt collec¬
tions are still preserved in the Museum of Natural
History at Copenhagen, now under the charge of Dr.
Schiodte.] “Their kind friendship allowed me full liberty
in examining and describing them. It is the richest
collection of the kind with which I am acquainted; and
from it were derived an extraordinary number of new
genera, which eventually induced me to treat every class
as a whole. This was the origin of my f Systema Eleu-
theratorum/ in two vols., and also of the ‘ Syst. Rhyngo-

torum/ and ‘ Syst. Piezatorum/ each in one vol., which
were published at this period. In the summer I went every
year to Paris, in order that I might see the large collec¬
tions which Olivier had brought from Persia and the
East, Bauden from the South Sea, and those which other
persons had brought from Egypt; and this summer I
expect the excellent Humboldt to return from S. America.
In the winter I always remained at Kiel to fulfil my
duties to the academy, and give lectures on Nat. Hist,
and Economics.. .. Such was my life, cherished by my
countrymen, although some of the higher ranks took
offence at my writings on politics. Beloved by the
learned abroad, I met on my travels everywhere with
the most friendly reception. A healthy body, a light
heart, and an easy mind raised me above many troubles.
Continual employment in my favourite science, which is
itself inexhaustible, hut which I cultivated with great
pleasure, and not without success, kept up my ardour in
the pursuit, and diffused peace and happiness over the
whole course of my life.” The Autobiography from
which these extracts have been taken was written in
1804 or 1805 : subsequently to this, Fabricius produced
several other works; and his “ Systema Glossatorum ”
appeared in Illiger’s Magazine for 1807. The Fabrician
class Glossata is identical with the Linnsean Lepidoptera;
and its name is derived from f^Kwaaa, in allusion to the
long spiral tongue of the insects,—the organs of the mouth
forming, as before stated, the basis of the Fabrician
classification. Swammerdamm and Ray classified insects
according to their metamorphoses; Lister, Linne, Geof-
froy according to their organs of motion; Reaumur,
Scopoli, and Linne himself took cognizance of the
nutritive organs to characterize certain genera; but Fa¬
bricius was the first to apply this principle to a general
classification of the whole order Insecta. This esti¬
mable man and great entomologist died at Copenhagen,
in 1807, according to most of the biographies; hut Mr.
Westwood, in the “Entomologist’s Text Book,” gives,
on the authority of Dr. Fabricius, the son of the ento¬
mologist, 1747 as the date of his birth, and 1810 as that
of his death. He was buried in the cemetery of Kiel; but
his remains are unmarked by any tombstone.

most valuable work.

Fischer, Dr. G., von Waldheim, born at Leipsic in 1770; in
1797 he accompanied Humboldt to Vienna, intending
to practise medicine, but devoted himself to Natural
History, particularly to that of the Fishes of the Da¬
nube. After taking a scientific journey through Ger¬
many and Switzerland, he removed to Paris, and as¬
sisted Cuvier in the production of the “ Ossemens Fos-
siles.” In 1804 Fischer was appointed Professor and
Director of the Museum at Moscow, and continued to
fill this office until his death in 1853. He was the
founder of the Imperial Society of Naturalists at Moscow,
a member of more than eighty learned and scientific
bodies, and a knight of several Russian Orders. The
titles of his principal works are “ Bibliographia Palseon-
tologica Animalium Systematica” (Moscow, 1810),
“Adversaria Zoologica” (1819), “Genera Ins. Coleop.
syst. expositaet analysi iconographica instructa” (1821),
“ Oryctographie du Gouvernement de Moscou” (1830),
and “ Entomographia Imperii Russici” (4 vols., 1820-
43), besides about 150 miscellaneous papers chiefly pub¬
lished in the “ Moscow Transactions.”

Forster, Johann Reinhold, born in 1729, the son of the
burgomaster of Dirschau, in Polish Prussia, descended
from an English family which had left this country in the
time of Charles I. He studied at the Universities of
Berlin and Halle, and, after passing some time in Russia,
came to England in 1766, and accepted a situation as
Teacher of German, French, and Natural History, in a
Dissenters’ College at Warrington. During his resi¬
dence there, he published an “ Introduction to Mine¬
ralogy ” (1768), “A Catalogue of English Insects”
(1770), and “Novae Species lnsectorum” (1771). In
1772 he accompanied Capt. Cook on his second voyage,
as Naturalist to the expedition, and on his return, three
years later, was made D.C.L. of Oxford, and F.R.S. In
*1778 appeared his “ Observations made during a Voyage
round the World;” but some quarrel having arisen
between him and the government about the publication
of works having reference to his voyage, he readily ac¬
cepted the offer of the Professorship of Natural History
at Halle: thence he gave to the world his “ Zoologia
Indica” (1781), “Enchiridion Historise Naturali inser-
viens” (1788), with many other works; and there he
continued to reside until his death in 1798. Forster is

said to have been able to speak or write seventeen lan¬
guages, and to have been well acquainted with almost
every department of literature; while in natural history,
botany, and geology he was one of the first investi¬
gators of the last century.

Frey, Heinrich, a native of Frankfort-on-Main, now Pro¬
fessor at Zurich; author of “Ueber die in der Schweiz
beobachteten Arten des Genus Lithocolletis; in den
Mittheilungen der Naturf. Gesellschaft in Zurich, 1855;”
“ Revision der Nepticulen,” in the llthvol. of “ Linnsea
Entomologica;” and of “ Die Tineen und Pterophoren
der Schweiz ” (Zurich, 1856), a work of which the
first English Micro-lepidopterist has said, “ This volume
clearly establishes the reputation of Professor Frey of
Zurich as the first Micro-lepidopterist in Europe.”

Freyer, C. F., Stiftskassirer at Augsburg, author of “ Bei-
trage aus dem Taschenbuch meiner europ. Schmett.”
(Augsburg, 1827-30), “ Neue Beitrage zur Schmetter-
lingskunde, mit Abbild. nach der Natur ” (1831),
“Neuere Beitrage” (1832-52), and of “Die schad-
lichsten Schmett. Deutschlands, &c., nach der Natur
beobachtet, beschrieben und abgebildet.” The trans¬
formations of numerous species of Lepidoptera are very
fully illustrated in these excellent works.

Frisch, Johann Leonhard, born in 1666, educated at Nurem¬
berg, travelled in France, Switzerland, Hungary, Turkey,
and Holland. Returning to Berlin, he was chosen Mem¬
ber of the Acad, of Sciences in 1706, Rector of the
Prussian Society in 1726, and in 1731 appointed to direct
the Historico-philologico-germanic class in the Univer-
sity. He founded the silk-manufacture in Brandenburg,
and introduced the cultivation of the mulberry into
Prussia. His chief work is “ Beschreibung von allerley
Insekten in Deutschland” (Berlin, 1720-38); this was
reprinted in 1766, and adorned with numerous plates :
the text gives the history of 300 insects, and describes
their curious habits and their metamorphoses. Besides
this, Frisch commenced a large work on German Orni¬
thology (which was concluded by his son), and published
many philological works. He died in 1743.

Frolich, Dr. Franc. A. G., of Ellvangen, author of “Enu¬
merate Tortricum Wurtemburgie ” (Tubingen, 1828).

Fuessli, Johann Gaspard, born in 1745 at Zurich, was edu¬
cated for an artistes life, but ultimately became a book¬
seller and publisher in his native town. In 1775 he
printed a “ Verzeichniss der ihm bekannten Schweizer-

haber der Entomologie ” in 1778-79, and the “Neues
Magazin f. d. Liebh. d. Ent.” and “ Arcbiv der Insek-
tengeschichte ” from 1781 until his death in 1786. The
last-mentioned work is in quarto, and illustrated with a
great number of excellent coloured plates.

Geer, Baron Karl DeGeer, a Swede, born in 1720, was
destined for a political life, but abandoned it to pursue
the study of Natural History, for which, and especially
for Entomology, he had a predilection from childhood;
he was also somewhat of a mechanical genius, and is
said to have invented some improved forms of machinery
for working the mines of Dannemora, and for clearing
them when inundated. DeGeer was elected a Member
of the Stockholm Academy, and published many papers
in the “ Transactions ;” but his chief glory is his “ Me-
moires pour servir h l’histoire des Insectes” (Stock¬
holm, 1752-78; 7 vols.), a work rich in facts and obser¬
vations, and containing descriptions of more than 1500
species : the classification depends, in the winged insects,
upon the nature and form of the wings, in the Aptera,
upon the metamorphoses of the insect. Linne mentions
DeGeer’s Museum as “ Amphibiis, Insectis aliisque
rarioribus dives.” The warmest friendship united these
two remarkable men; and to both the spring of 1778
proved fatal.

Geoffroy, Etienne Louis, born at Paris in 1725, was for
nearly forty years one of the leading physicians of the
French capital. Among many other works, he published
in 1762 “ Histoire abregee des Insectes qui se trouvent
aux environs de Paris, dans laquelle ces Animaux sont
ranges suivant un Ordre Methodique;” his classification
was made with regard to the structure of the wings, but
in the Coleoptera he first introduced the tarsal system.
The above-mentioned work was followed by the “ Traite
sommaire des Coquilles, tant fluviatiles que terrestres, qui
se trouvent aux environs de Paris” (1767). At the time
of the Revolution, Geoffroy retired to Chartreuve, near
Soissons, and lived there till his death in 1810.

Germar, Ernst Friedrich, born in' 1786, was sent to school
at Meiningen, at which place was resident the Ento¬
mologist Clairville; in 1807 he removed to Leipsic, and
in 1817 was made Professor of Mineralogy and Natural
History at Halle, where he died in 1853. Prof. Germar
was the author of “ Systematis Glossatorum Prodromus,
sistens Bombycum species” (Leipsic, 1810-12), “Inseo-

torum species novse aut minus cognitse ” (Halle, 1824),
“ Fauna Insectorum Europse ” (1817-47) : he was the
editor of the “ Magazin fur Entomologie ” (in conjunc¬
tion with Zincken) from 1813-18, and of the “Zeit-
schrift fiir die Entomologie ” from 1838-45, when it be¬
came merged in the “ Linnsea Entomologica ;” and papers
from his pen will be found, not only in these periodicals,
but also in Oken’s “ Isis, 5 ' and Silbermann’s “ Revue
Entomologique.” Germar’s collections and library have
passed into the hands of his nephew. Prof. Schaum, of
Berlin.

Godart, Jean Baptiste, born in 1775 in Picardy, but who
soon removed to Paris and resided there the greater part
of his life, was the author of the article “Papillon” in the
Encycl. Methodique (1819), of a “Tableau Methodique
des Lepidopteres Diurnes de France ” (1823), and com¬
menced the “ Hist. Nat. des Lepid. de France,” and the
“ Hist, des Chenilles,” which have been concluded by
Duponchel. Godart died in 1823.

Goetze, Johann August Ephraim Goetze (or Goze), born in
1731 at Aschersleben, where his father was pastor, stu¬
died divinity at Halle, after which he for a long time per¬
formed ministerial duties in the parish of Quedlinburg.
It was not till he was nearly forty years of age that the
acquisition of a microscope drew his attention to Natural
History, after which he soon rose to eminence as an
Entomologist. His “ Entom. Beitrage zu der Ritter
Lmne 12 ten . Ausgabe des Natursystems,” was published
between 1777-83 (Leipsic, 5 vols.), and his work on
Intestinal Worms, “ Yersuch iiber die Naturgesch. der
Eingeweide Wiirmer,” in 1782: he was also the author
of “Europ. Fauna, oder Naturgesch. d. Europ. Thiere,”
&c. (fortg. v. Donndorf, Leipsic, 1791-1803, 9 vols.), and
of papers in “ Der Naturforscher,” and in the Trans, of
the Berlin and other Societies. Goetze died in 1793.

Gregson, C. S., of Liverpool, a collector of British Lepidop-
tera and Coleoptera, notes by whom will be found in

Guenee, A., of Chateaudun, a lawyer, author of various
papers in the Annales de la Soc. Ent. de France, since
1834; of “Europ. Micro-Lepid. Index Methodicus”
(1845); and of “ Histoire naturelle des Insectes Lepi-
dopteres ” (1852 et seq.), one of the most valuable recent
additions to Entomological literature.

Haworth, Adrian Hardy, of Cottingham, near Hull, after¬
wards of Little Chelsea, wrote papers in the Trans. Ent.
Soc. Lond. (1812), and Phil. Mag., but is best known as
the author of “ Lepidoptera Britannica, sistens diges-
tionem novam Insectorum Lepid. quae in Magna Bri¬
tannia reperiuntur ” (London, 1803-27, 4 vols.), which
has been described as “a monograph the most com¬
plete, most learned, and most useful, ever published on
the Entomology of Britain, and one which will long-
remain an invaluable treasure to the Lepidopterist. The
sterling good qualities of Haworth are—1st, that he
described from Nature; and 2nd, that he described well.”
His collections of insects of all orders, British and
foreign, were, after his death, sold by auction, the sale
occupying many days; many of the typical specimens
described in the “ Lep. Brit.” were purchased by, and
incorporated with the collection of, J. P. Stephens,
and are now in the British Museum. Others were pur¬
chased by the Entomological Society; and others are pre¬
served in the Hopeian Collection at Oxford. Haworth
was also known as a distinguished botanist: his Memoirs
on Mesembryanthemum and on Bulbous Plants are
highly appreciated, and led to a correspondence with
many eminent foreign botanists. Of these plants he
possessed a large collection in a living state. In his
later years, when a great impulse to classification was
given by the works of MacLeay, Swainson, Vigors, &c.,
he adopted binarianism as the groundwork of all classifi¬
cation, and published numerous Memoirs on the subject
in Taylor’s Annals.

Herrich-Schaffer, G. A. W., Dr. Med. ofRatisbon, author
of “ De Generatione Insectorum, partibusque ei inservi-
entibus” (Ratisbon, 1821), “ Nomenclator Entomologi-
cus ” (1835), parts of the “ Topogr. von Regensburg ” von
Fiirnrohr, “Die wanzenartigen Insecten” (Nuremberg,

vals from 1843-56 : in them all the genera are charac¬
terized, and all the species hitherto detected in Europe
are described, with copious remarks on their habits, food,
times of appearance, and localities, the whole forming a

complete work, which, for accuracy of description and
the magnificence of its plates, leaves little to be desired.

Heyden, Carl von. Senator of Frankfort-on-Main, has pub¬
lished “ Entomologische Beitrage ” and other papers in
the “ Museum Senckenbergianum,” a Zoological Miscel¬
lany, put forth by the Senckenberg Soc. of Nat. Hist, at
Frankfort, of which von Heyden was Director ; and papers
in Oken’s Isis and Silbermann’s Revue Entomologique.
Senator von Heyden is one of the first German entomo¬
logists of the day ; his collection of minute insects of all
Orders is extremely rich; and his Entomological Library
is one of the finest in existence: the results of his ob¬
servations are recorded in all the recent works; but it is
a cause for regret that we have so little from his own
pen. The possibility of the appearance of a “ Frankfort
Fauna ” has been hinted at; and it is to be hoped that
such a work will soon see the light.

Hubner, Jakob, of Halle, an entomologist and artist of the
highest repute, author of “ Beitrage zur Geschichte der
Schmetterlinge ” (Augsburg, 1785-90), “ Abbild. und
Beschreib. noch unbeschriebener und nicht abgebildeter
Schmett.” (1785), “ Sammlung Europ. Schmett.” (com¬
menced in 1805), “ Geschichte Europ. Schmett.” and
“ Sammlung exotischer Schmett.” (both commenced
in 1806), “ Yerzeichniss bekannter Schmett.” (1826),
“ Larvae Lepidopterorum,” &c. His works have contri¬
buted largely to the knowledge both of the species and
of the transformations of Lepidoptera, especially the Eu¬
ropean ; his figures are generally full of truth, and, al¬
though unaccompanied for the most part by descriptive
letter-press, have yet sufficed for the identification even
of the smallest species. The “ Gesch. Europ. Schmett.”
consists of 790 coloured quarto plates, each containing
figures of numerous species; and the work on the trans¬
formations of the European species consists of 449 co¬
loured quarto plates. Hubner died in 1827 ; and his
works have, since his death, been continued by Geyer
and Herrich-Schaffer.

Hufnagel wrote papers on insects in the “ Berlinisches Ma-

Kuhlwein, a German collector in the early part of this cen¬
tury ; Hiibner figures several of his captures. He is
referred to by Duponchel in the “ Lep. de France,” and
by Zeller in the “ Isis ” for 1839. His collection must
have been an important one, as a Catalogue of it was
printed; but Kuhlwein is not otherwise known as an
author.

Laseeyres, Jakob Heinrich, published at Berlin in 1801 a
monograph of Sesia, “ Sesiae Europseae Iconibus et De¬
scrip. illustratae,” in 1803 a treatise on Platypteryx,
“ Vorschlag zu einer neuen in die Klasse der Glossaten
einzufiihrenden Gattung Platypteryx,” and wrote in II-
liger’s Magazin a “ Kritische Revision der neuen Ausgabe

Latreille, Pierre Andre, bom in 1762, the most celebrated
of French entomologists, the friend of Bose, Fabricius,
Haiiy, Lamarck, and Olivier, was elected Mem. de lTn-
stitut in 1814, and in 1829 succeeded Lamarck as Pro¬
fessor of Natural History at the Paris Museum : he died
in 1833. Latreille’s works are very numerous : in addi¬
tion to many papers published in the Transactions of
various Societies, he was the author of the “ Crustacees,
Arachnides, et Insectes de TEncycl. Methodique” (1789),
of the entom. parts of the 2nd ed. of the “ Nouveau Diet.
d’Hist. Naturelle” (1824), and of Cuvier’s “ Regne Ani¬
mal” (1829), of the “Hist. Nat. generale et particuliere
des Crustacees et des Insectes ” (Paris, 1802-5,14 vols.),
“ Genera Crustaceorum et Insectorum, secundum ordi-
nem nat. in famil. disposita” (1806-9, 4 vols.), “Hist.

Nat. des Reptiles” (1801, 4 vols.), “Hist. Nat. des
Singes” (1802, 2 vols.), “Consid. gen. sur l’Ordre Nat.
desAnim. composant lesClasses des Crustaeees, desArach-
nides, et des Insectes” (1820). Latreille may be said to
be tbe inventor of a new and certainly the most valuable
system of entomology yet proposed. Swammerdamm
had adopted metamorphosis as the groundwork of his
mode of distribution; Linnaeus had considered the wings
as affording the most important characters, whilst Fabri-
cius had introduced the cibarian characters as of primary
importance. Latreille, however, had the tact to perceive
that a character, or set of characters, which in one group
was of primary importance, was only entitled to se¬
condary consideration in other groups; hence the Eclectic
System, in which all the elements of former systematists
were adopted. But another and even still more im¬
portant step in the arrangement of annulose animals was
taken by Latreille in introducing the natural families,
into which allied genera, which had been treated by Fa-
bricius, Olivier, &c. as independent groups, were brought
together according to their natural relationships. The
first sketch of these natural groups appeared in his
earliest work, “ Precis des Caracteres generiques,” (1796,
8vo), now exceedingly scarce ; and in one of his last works,
“ Families naturelles du Regne Animal,” he applied the
same view to the whole of animated nature. The extreme
clearness and precision of his views in the distribution
and subdivision of his groups, is another great charac¬
teristic of his writings, and is nowhere seen to greater
advantage than in his ‘ Genera ’ above-mentioned, an un¬
rivalled work, which doubtless led to his being selected
by Cuvier to undertake the Articulated department of the
“ Regne Animal.” His descriptions of new species, scat¬
tered through his various works, and especially his Mo¬
nograph of the Formicidse and his classification of the
Bees (published at the same time as Kirby’s “ Mono-
graphia Apum Anglise”), are deserving of all praise. In
all these works he employed characters derived from re¬
peated dissections of his materials; and it may be in¬
teresting to mention that his collection of dissections
of Coleopterous insects, enriched with his notes and
sketches, was secured by Mr. Westwood, and is pre¬
served in the Hopeian Museum at Oxford. He was
(perhaps fortunately for entomology) by no means in
affluent circumstances, and was consequently much en¬
gaged by the booksellers. To this also was to be attri¬
buted the necessity for the sale of his collection—which

he had formed with great care, and which contained many
remarkable types and rare genera of all Orders,—a cir¬
cumstance which he never ceased to lament, although he
subsequently commenced the formation of a second col¬
lection. He retained his energies to the last, his Memoir
on the Families allied to the Elateridse being completed
shortly before his death. His loss was felt by the ento¬
mologists of France as that of a father; and a tomb was
erected, by subscription, over his remains in Pere la
Chaise.

Leach, Dr. William Elford, born at Plymouth in 1790, in
1813 was appointed Curator of the Nat. Hist. Depart¬
ment at the British Museum; between 1814-17 he pro¬
duced the “ Zoological Miscellany” (3 vols.), and “ Mala-
costraca Podophthalmata, or Descriptions of the British
Species of Crabs and Lobsters.” He was also author of
articles in the “Dictionnaire des Sciences Naturelles,” and
in the “Edinb.Encycl.,” and of papers intheTrans.Linn.
Soc., Phil. Trans., Oken’s “ Isis,” and the Journ. de Phys.
He enjoyed the friendship of Latreille, whose system he
mainly introduced into this country in his various works,
more especially in his MSS. which were incorporated by
Samouelle in the “ Entomologist’s Useful Compendium.”
Dr. Leach remained at the British Museum till 1821,
and subsequently resided at Spitchweek Park, near Ash¬
burton ; the latter years of his life were, however, spent
in Italy, his health and intellect being impaired. He
died in 1836.

Lienig, Madame, of Kokenhusen, in Livonia, Hon. Mem. of
the Entom. Soc. of Stettin, authoress of “Yerz. der
Schmett. Cur- und Liev-lands,” in den Schriften der
Rigaer Gesellschaft, and of “ Lepidopterologische Fauna
von Lievland und Curland, mit Anmerk. von Zeller ” in
Oken’s “Isis” for 1846. Madame Lienig died in 1855.

Linnaeus. Karl Linne was born in 1707 at Roshult, in Sma-
land, Sweden, of which parish his father was curate. At
sixteen he was apprenticed to a shoemaker; but a doctor
named Rothman, perceiving his bent and his powers,
lent him a copy of Toumefort, and afterwards sent him
to the University of Lund, placing him under the care of
Stobseus, the Professor of Natural History. By the pro¬
fessor’s aid, Linne was enabled to remove to Upsala,
whither he was urged by his passion for Natural Hi¬
story : it was with difficulty that he contrived to live by
instructing his fellow-students in Latin; and it is said
that he was even driven to eke out his subsistence by

mending shoes. His botanical skill introduced him to
the notice of Celsius, Professor of Theology, who was
then engaged upon his “ Hiero-Botanicon.” Linne was
employed to assist him, and afterwards recommended to
Rudbeck, Prof, of Botany, who entrusted to him the
direction of the Garden, and allowed him occasionally to
supply his own place as lecturer. From this time, from
his twenty-fourth year, dates the first idea of the great
reform which Linne was destined to carry out. In 1732
he was sent through Lapland, to collect and describe the
plants; with almost incredible perseverance and diffi¬
culty he traversed the most remarkable districts, follow¬
ing the course of the chief chain of mountains, descend¬
ing to the coast in Norwegian Lapland, proceeding round
the Gulf of Bothnia, and returning by way of Finland
and the Aland Isles. On regaining his home, he was
rewarded by the Academy of Upsala with the payment of
his expenses, amounting to £10 sterling. Linne then
retired to Fahlun, the chief town of Dalecarlia, of im¬
portance from its large copper-mines, where he began to
practise medicine, and give lessons in Mineralogy : his stay
was of short duration; for university and family quarrels
induced him to travel into Holland. There he pre¬
sented himself to Boerhaave, by whom he was introduced
to a wealthy banker, George Cliffort, who had a passion
for natural science. Linne was soon installed as Curator
of Cliffort’s Botanical Garden at Harlecamp, and con¬
tinued to reside there three years. Then it was that he
began to systematize his views, and to make his first ge¬
neral application of them. Up to that time, though many
and learned works had appeared on natural history, yet
in most of these works the subject had been treated gene¬
rally*, the different species were not clearly distinguished,
no attempt had been made to form a complete and sy¬
stematic catalogue of them; they were described on no
uniform plan, and in terms without precise signification;
the names assigned to them varied at the will of every
author, and were often long descriptive phrases which
served only to overload the memory. These Avere the
defects which Linne undertook to remedy. He had to
discover methods of distribution and classification founded
upon determinate and marked characters, which would
apply to all the natural objects in creation; he had to
invent terms enough to indicate the prodigious variety of

mier veritable naturaliste du regne animal,” as Cuvier calls him.

form found in living creatures, and to fix those terms
with such precision that their use should never be am¬
biguous ; he had to review all the creatures described by
previous authors and amassed in their collections, to
give them short convenient names (analogous to our
Christian and surnames), describe them in the termi¬
nology he had invented, and arrange them upon the
method he had adopted. The first outline of this enor¬
mous enterprise was given to the world in the “ Systema
Naturae/’ published at Leyden in 1735. In this first
edition, the mineral kingdom was divided into Petrae
and Fossilia,—the former division including Salia, Com-
bustibilia, and Metalla; the latter including Petrificata,
Concreta, and Terrae. The vegetable kingdom was divided
in accordance with the method since so celebrated as the
Sexual System, founded upon the relative position, the
proportion, the connexion or distinction, and the number,
of the stamens and pistils. The animal kingdom, which
came last, was divided into Quadrupeda, Aves, Reptilia,
Pisces, Insecta, and Vermes; the Cetacea were placed
among the Fishes. The genera of animals were charac¬
terized, but the species were simply named; in the vege¬
table kingdom, only the names of the genera were given.
This comprehensive sketch of the whole domain of Na¬
tural History excited general astonishment, and procured
for its author considerable respect; thenceforward Linne
worked steadily and constantly to perfect and extend his
plan, assigning by degrees names and descriptions to all
the genera and all the species with which he was ac¬
quainted. Twelve editions of the “ Systema Naturae” were
published during his life-time; but most of these were
only reprints ; those in which new matter was introduced
are the 2nd in 1740, the 6th in 1748, the 10th in 1757,
and the 12th in 1766, all published at Stockholm. The
original work was printed on twelve folio pages; Gmelin’s
edition of 1788 is in fourteen 8vo volumes. The botani¬
cal part of the Syst. Nat. was developed in many inde¬
pendent works. In 1736 were published the “ Hortus
Cliffortianus ” and the “ Fundamenta Botanicain 1737,
the “Critica Botanica,” “Genera Plantarum,” and “Flora
Lapponicain 1738, “ Classes Plantarum /’ in 1751, the
“ Philosophia Botanicaand “ Species Plantarum ” in
1753, to which several Supplements followed. It is in
Botany that Linne gained most success and the greatest
glory: his nomenclature and terminology were promptly
adopted, and to this day remain in full force; but the

sexual method of division (not first established by Linne)
has now given way to the Natural System introduced by
DeCandolle and the two De Jussieus. In the animal
kingdom, the Linnsean divisions of all Orders were much
more in accordance with natural affinities; numbers of
genera were for the first time classified, and, especially
among the insects, Linne was the first to name and cha¬
racterize the particular species. To return from his
works to the author himself;—on quitting Holland,
Linne visited England and France, then returned to
Sweden, and settled in Stockholm as a physician : fortu¬
nately he obtained few patients; but, through the Mend-
ship of the Baron Karl de Geer and the Count de Tessin
(to whom are dedicated the successive editions of the
Syst. Nat.), he was made, in 1738, physician to the
Navy, and was appointed to give lectures on Botany in
the capital; in 1739 he was Physician to the King, and
President of the newly-formed Academy of Sciences at
Stockholm; in this year also he married Sara Elizabet
More, who, six years before, had won his affection at
Fahlun. In 1741 he was promoted to the Botanical
Chair in the University of Upsala, the great object of his
ambition; in 1753 he received from the hand of his so¬
vereign the knighthood of the Polar Star, an honour
never before conferred for literary merit; and in 1756
was raised into the ranks of the nobility by the title of
the Chevalier von Linne. Meanwhile Linne profited
unceasingly by all the means which his daily-increasing
reputation gave him to perfect his works, and extend his
influence: he travelled through various provinces of
Sweden to observe and collect their natural products, and
published accounts of his journeys, full of interesting
particulars, connected not only with natural history, but
with the antiquities of the districts, the habits and agri¬
culture of the people: the results of his Swedish travels
were comprised in the “ Fauna Suecica ” (1746), and the
“Flora Suecica,” which appeared nine years later; he
published also, under the title of “ Amcenitates Acade-
micse,” a series of essays on subjects connected with
vegetable physiology, the economy of plants or animals,
and the philosophy of natural history. Linne 5 s society
is described as full of charms; his single weakness was
inordinate vanity and excessive love of praise. His do¬
mestic life was unhappy, through the conduct of his wife,
a profligate woman, who rendered his home uncomfortable
by parsimony and petty tyranny, and who conceived a

violent and groundless hatred for her only son; this son
afterwards succeeded his father in all his university
offices, and died unmarried in 1784, when the library and
herbarium of the great Linne were purchased by Sir
James Edward Smith, and are now in the possession of
the Linnaean Society of London. Depredators of his
fame have said that Linne was nothing more than a mere
nomenclator; but it may he remarked that “the only
persons who succeed in making great alterations in the
language of science are not those who make names arbi¬
trarily, and as an exercise of ingenuity, but those who
have much new knowledge to communicate; so that the
vehicle is commended to general reception by the value
of what it contains. It is only eminent discoverers to
whom the authority is conceded of introducing a new
system of names, just as it is only the highest authority
in the state which has the power of putting a new coinage
in circulation * ” Still it is true that Linne’s real claim
to admiration is not so much that he was a great disco¬
verer, as that he was a judicious reformer; he embodied
the convictions which had been gradually rising in the
minds of scientific men, and, by remodelling both termi¬
nology and nomenclature, produced a complete reform in
science. DeCandolle f gives as the causes of the success
of the Linnaean system, the specific names, the charac¬
teristic phrase, the fixation of descriptive language, the
distinction of varieties and species, the extension of the
same method to all the kingdoms of nature, and the
practice of introducing into it all the species most re¬
cently discovered. This last plan Linne always pursued;
and for thus enriching his works he had unrivalled faci¬
lities. His pupils travelled to distant countries, and sent
to him from every quarter the most interesting objects,
—Alstromer from Southern Europe, Berg and Falk from
Gothland, Forskal from Arabia and the East, Hasselquist
from Egypt and Palestine, Kalm from Canada, Kohler
from Italy, Lolling from Spain and America, Martin

China and Java, Pontin from Malabar, Rolander from
Surinam, Solander from Lapland, the South Sea Isles,
and England, Sparmann from South Africa, Ternstrom
from Asia, Thunberg from Japan, Toren from Malabar
and Surat: and his botanical friends sent him seeds and

Naturalists vied with one another in enriching his collec¬
tion, and in courting his society; every academy in Eu¬
rope enrolled him among its members. Thus honoured
at home, and respected abroad, Linne fulfilled for thirty-
seven years his professional duties, and died on the 10th
January 1778, at the ripe age of 71. Beneath the twin
towers of the Cathedral, a plain stone simply tells that it

is erected “ Botanieorum Principi ■” and in the museum

seated, holding in his hand the Linncea borealis, in the
very act of lecturing. But better still than these out¬
ward marks of respect, his memory is fondly cherished,
and his fame jealously guarded. Upsala has not for¬
gotten, and will not forget, the most renowned of her
sons.

Ochsenheimer, Ferdinand, born at Mainz in 1767; on the
completion of his academical career was employed as
private tutor in several families at Mannheim. At that
time the theatre of Mannheim was one of the first in
Germany, and still preserves a creditable reputation.
Ochsenheimer wrote several comedies, which were pro¬
duced with great applause; and this seems to have drawn
his attention still more closely to the stage, for in his
twenty-seventh year he resolved himself to become an
actor : this resolution he carried out, and for some years
was a chief attraction at many of the principal theatres
of Germany; his performance of “ Talbot ” in “ Die
Jungfrau von Orleans ” called forth the warmest en¬
comiums of Schiller. It was about the end of last cen¬
tury that Ochsenheimer began to collect insects, and
make the acquaintance of other entomologists, Treitsclike
among the rest; in 1802 he formed a friendship with
Laspeyres, who urged him to become an author; and in
1805 the first volume of a Natural History of the Moths of
Saxony appeared at Dresden. Differences with his pub¬
lisher caused him to desist; and thereupon he began his
more extensive work, “ Die Schmetterlinge von Europa,”
the first part of which was published at Leipsic in 1807.
Ochsenheimer’s fame was at once established; he was
soon elected into the Soc. of Naturalists at Berlin, and
subsequently into those of Wetterau and Halle. Pro¬
fessional engagements and entomological pursuits formed
a double bond of union between Ochsenheimer and
Treitschke: they collected together, and their life was
divided between the stage and insect-hunting; thus
Treitschke became associated with his senior in the pro¬
duction of the great work, and survived him to complete
it. One night, after performing at the theatre at Vienna,

Ochsenheimer was seized with an attack of apoplexy,
and died in 1822. His collection was purchased for the
Royal Museum at Pesth.

Olivier, Dr. Guillaume Antoine, born in 1756, a French
naturalist and traveller, whose especial studies were
Botany and Entomology, was employed in early life in
describing and collecting particulars about the natural
objects and productions of the neighbourhood of Paris.
Losing this post at the Revolution, hut siding with the
Revolutionary Party, he and Bruguiere were appointed
in 1792 by the minister Roland to accompany the em¬
bassy to Persia, as scientific attaches. Roland perished,
and the scientific men were deprived of their resources;
nevertheless they pursued their journey, visited Con¬
stantinople, the Isles of the Archipelago, Syria, Egypt,
Arabia, and finally Bagdad, Teheran, and Ispahan.
Having obtained favourable answers from the Persians
on the objects of their mission, they returned up the
Euphrates to Aleppo, visited Cyprus, traversed Asia
Minor to Constantinople, thence to Greece, and finally
landed at Ancona in September 1798. There Bruguiere
died; and Olivier returned alone to Paris, with a valuable
collection, the result of their six years' ramble. He im¬
mediately occupied himself with the production of his
“ Voyage dans FEmpire Ottoman, l’Egypte, et la Perse "
(Paris, 6 vols., 1802-7). In 1800 he was chosen Mem. de
FInstitut, was subsequently Professor of Zoology at the
Ecole Yeterinaire d'Alfort, but for some time before his
death became afflicted with melancholy. He died at
Lyons, in 1814. Besides his “ Travels," Olivier was the
author of articles on Insects in the Encycl. Methodique,
and of the “Dict.de FHistoire Nat. des Insectes" (9 vols.) •
he also published “ Entomologie, ou FHist. Nat. des
Insectes" (6 vols.). His great work, however, is “ Hist.
Nat. des Coleopteres ” (also in 6 vols.), in which an im¬
mense number of species of beetles were for the first time
figured.

Pallas, Peter Simon, born in 1741, was the son of a surgeon
at Berlin. After studying at Berlin, Gottingen, and
Leyden, he spent a year in England, and in 1763 settled
at the Hague, where he published “ Elenchus Zoophy¬
torum," and “ Miscellanea Zoologica" (1766). In 1767
he was invited to St. Petersburg by the Empress Catha¬
rine, and accepted the post of Professor of Natural
History in the Imp. Acad, of Sciences. In Juue 1768
Pallas set out on a scientific mission, travelled through

Central Russia, and wintered at Sinbirsk on the Volga;
next spring he moved to Orenburg, thence down the
River Oural to the Caspian Sea; in 1770 he followed the
course of the Oural Mountains, northwards, to Tobolsk
the capital of Siberia, and wintered at Tchiliabinsk; in
the spring of 1771 he visited the mines of Kolivan, in the
Altai’ Mountains, and wintered at Krasnoiarsk on the
River Enisei; next year he traversed Lake Baikal, and
went as far as the borders of the Chinese Empire: re¬
turning thence, he a second time wintered at Krasnoi¬
arsk; in 1773 descended again to the Caspian, visited
Astrakhan and Bokhara, and approached Caucasia; after
wintering between the Volga and the Don, he finally re¬
turned to St. Petersburg in July 1774. Two years later,
his “Travels” appeared, a work which has been de¬
scribed as an inexhaustible mine for the naturalist and
the statesman. This was followed by “ Spicilegia Zoo-
logica” (1780), and “leones Insectorum, prsesertim
Rossise S ibiriseque peculiarium ” (Erlangen, 1781). Cuvier,
in his Eloge, says “ Pallas a vraiment change la face de la
theorie de la terre. Une consideration attentive des deux
grandes chaines de montagnes de Siberie lui fit apercevoir
cette regie generale, qui s’est ensuite verifiee partout, de
la succession des trois ordres primitifs de montagnes, les
granitiques au milieu, les schisteuses h leurs cotes, et les
calcaires en dehors. On peut dire que ce grand fait,
nettement exprime en 1777, dans un Memoire lu i
PAcademie, a donne naissance a toute la nouvelle geo¬
logic : les Saussure, les Deluc, les Werner sont partis de
lk pour arriver a la veritable connaissance de la structure
de la terre, si differente des idees fantastiques des ecri-
vains precedents.” Honourably occupied at St. Peters¬
burg, loaded with titles, and applauded by the whole of
Europe, Pallas’s position might seem an enviable one;
but his wanderings had unfitted him for the life of a
capital, and rendered it irksome to him. Accordingly
he accompanied the expedition to the Crimea, where,
charmed with the climate, he settled in 1795 ; for fifteen
years he lived in the neighbourhood of Simpheropol,
exercising hospitality to the few who then visited his
secluded home, engaged upon his “ Zoographia Rosso-
Asiatica,” and continuing his other great works. Tired
at length of so monotonous a life, he quitted Russia, and,
after an absence of forty-two years, returned to his native
town to end his days : his death occurred in 1811.

Stephens, James Francis, F.L.S., F.Z.S., Mem. Ent. Soc.
Lond. and France, was bom on the 16th September 1792,
and from an early age was fond of entomology ; in his
sixteenth year he began to prepare a catalogue of British
insects, and enumerated 3673 species, of which 1367
were Lepidoptera; he was for many years a clerk in the
Admiralty Office. In 1818 Mr. Stephens assisted Dr. Leach
in the arrangement of the collection in the British Mu¬
seum; in 1828 appeared “ A Systematical Catalogue of
British Insects,” in which 10,116 species were enume¬
rated; in 1829, “ The Nomenclature of British Insects,”
and in 1839, the “ Manual of British Coleoptera.” Be¬
sides these works, he w as author of a large portion of
Shaw’s British Zoology, of the entomological articles in
the Encycl. Metropolitana, and of numerous papers in
The Zoologist, the Zool. Journ., Trans. C. P. S., Entom.
Mag., Ti’ans. Ent. Soc., and also of the Brit. Mus. Cat.
of Lepidoptera. But the work on which Mr. Stephens’s
fame chiefly rests is the “ Illustrations of British Ento-
mology, a Synopsis of Indigenous Insects” (London,
10 vols. 1827-46; the four vols. on Lepidop. appeared
between 1828-35), a work in which it was intended to
describe all the known species of British insects; the
Hemiptera and Diptera were however omitted, and only
a part of the Hymenoptera was executed. Many of the
descriptions are faulty, being often compiled from other
authors, without verification from actual specimens of the
insects, and thus are not unfrequently applied to insects
for which they were never intended; but the volumes
contain many very interesting notices of the habits of
species, and, despite its faults, the work is the most com¬
plete that we have on general descriptive Entomology.
Air. Stephens was for a long time engaged in a lawsuit
with James Rennie for alleged piracy of the “ Illustrar
tions,” in the publication of the “ Conspectus of British
Butterflies and Aloths.” Rennie was successful; but the
opinion of scientific men was shown by the subscription

which they raised to defray the heavy legal expenses con¬
sequent upon Stephens’s defeat. He was an indefatigable
collector of all orders of insects, and will long be re¬
membered for the unbounded liberality with which his
admirably arranged collections and extensive entomo¬
logical library were thrown open to every entomologist,
and for his readiness in imparting information to all.
His library is now in the possession of Mr. Stainton, who
imitates the liberality of its previous owner. The col¬
lections valuable as containing the types described in
the “ Illustrations,” and also the types of Marsham, and
some of those of Haworth—are principally in the British
Museum; but his collection of the British Crustacea is

of this century, entomology made rapid strides in En¬
gland ; and to none was this progress owing more than
to James Francis Stephens. He died in 1852.

Dutch East India Company, and sailed to the Cape of
Good Hope, where he remained three winters; thence
he proceeded to Java and Japan, and stayed five years,
exploring the country, and collecting the natural pro¬

Tischer, Karl von, born in 1777, was a lieutenant in the army,
and wounded at the battle of Jena; was subsequently
Superintendent of the Board of Taxes at Schandau, after
retiring from which post he resided at Dresden. Tischer
studied all Orders of Insects, and Botany: he is best
known by his numerous and valuable contributions to
Treitschke’s work, hut is also the author of “ Encyclopad.
Taschenbuch fur angehende Schmetterlings-sammler ”
(Leipsic, 1804), “ Handbuch fur Schmett.-sammler ”
(1804), “ Die kleine Schmetterlingsfreunde ” (1806), and

Treitschke, Friedrich, horn about 1780, at Leipsic. Return¬
ing from Switzerland to his native town about the end
of last century, he made the acquaintance of Ochsen-
heimer; in 1802 he removed to Vienna, and was em¬
ployed as Author and Registrar at the Royal Opera; he
was subsequently promoted to the post of Hoftheater-Oe-
konom. In 1806 Treitschke was driven into the country
by ill health: this gave him greater opportunity for col¬
lecting ; and from that time he and Ochsenheimer were in¬
separable. He rendered some assistance in the production
of the 4th vol. of “ Die Schmetterlinge von Europa,”
which appeared in 1816, carried on the work after Och-
senheimer’s decease, and brought it to a conclusion in
1835; besides this, Treitschke wrote a small work,
“Hiilfsbuch fiir Schmetterlings-sammler ’’(Vienna, 1834).
He was a member of the Societies of Moscow, Leipsic,

Wing, William, born in 1828, F.L.S., Secretary of the Ent.
Soc. of London, was employed as an entomological artist,
and distinguished for the care and accuracy with which his
drawings were executed; many of the illustrations in the
Trans, of the Linnsean and Entom. Societies are the work
of his hands; short papers by Wing will be found in the
Proc. Zool. Soc. and the Trans. Ent. Soc. Had he lived,
he could not have failed to establish for himself a high
scientific reputation ; but his career was cut short in 1855.

father of the present race of Micro-lepidopterists; Micro-
lepidopterology, as now pursued, may be said to date
from the appearance, in the Isis for 183*9, of the “ Versuch
einer naturmassigen Eintheilung der Schaben.”

In the following Catalogue every vowel is to be pronounced short,
unless marked long, thus— e.

a as in “ hate. ”
e . “ mete.”

i .... “hide.”

u . ... 11 duke.”

Two dots placed over two vowels occurring together (thus, ee)
show that the letters are to be pronounced as two syllables. [In the
Crambi and Tinese, where the diminutive termination -ellus, or
-ella, is usually added to the root of the name, and is often imme¬
diately preceded by a vowel, the dots have generally been omitted;
but in all such cases the vowels are to he pronounced as two sylla¬
bles : thus, Regiella, pron. Re-gi-el-la, not Re-giel-la.]

Table of Consonant Sounds,
c is to be pronounced hard, as Tc.

f .soft, as s.

ch .hard, as k : except when (in names from the

PAPILIO, L., Papilio, papilio, a butterfly. Linnaeus first
attempted to combine in some degree Natural
