PLAN OF THE WORK.

Trut the task is performed by some person more
competent than I can have any pretensions to be, this
little volume is intended to assist those who study
insects philosophically, in ascertaining the species of our
native butterflies and moths; while it may be useful
also to those employed in the subordinate pursuits of
making collections either for profit, or as innocent and
pretty toys.

In order to render the descriptions plain, I have
avoided as much as possible the use of terms not intel-
ligible to a general reader, deeming it an outrage upon
common sense, to invite a student to a museum filled
with the most beautiful productions of Creative Wisdom,
and at the same time taking some pains to fill the rooms
with smoke before he is introduced, with set purpose to
blind him and cause him to stumble. Though this may
appear preposterous enough, it has long been the pre-
vailing fashion, particularly in Natural History, which
was in consequence for many years rendered unpopu-
lar, and has been thrown immeasurably behind in the

vi » PLAN OF THE WORK.

rapid progress recently made in other branches of know-
ledge, naturalists having obviously acquired an artifi-
cial taste for the smoke. The chief glory of our modern
naturalists appears to be the discovery of species, which,
to use their cant phrases, may be “new to science,” oy
“an addition to the British Fauna,”’—the term Fauna
being generally and most inaccurately applied to fishes,
shells, and other productions, of a certainty not under
the dominion of the goddess of the woods and fields; no
more than mushrooms and sea-weeds, which have no
flower, are under the dominion of Flora. The term
Kingdom, in the phrase animal, vegetable, and mineral
kingdom, together with Tribes, Families, and the like, is
founded on quaint and inaccurate fancies of the same
kind, which would not be tolerated in any other branch
of science or literature.

In deseribing species, either well known or “ new to
ow Fauna,” or “our Flora, the current style, mis-
named scientific, may be fairly characterised as a
uniform tissue of pedantic barbarisms, devised, it
would appear, not for the diffusion, but the conceal-
ment of knowledge. If the descriptions affect to be in
English, the language employed is most assuredly not
English. Thus we have “flavous” and “Juteous” for
“yellow,” “ griseous” for grey, “fuscous” for dusky ;””
while similar words are not only compounded with Latin
derivatives, as “« Ochraceous-fuscous,” meaning, I con-
jecture, “ dusky-buff,” but with plain English, such as

PLAN OF THE WORK. vil

“ eastaceous-red,” ‘* hoary-griseous,” “ griseous-rosy,”
“ rusty-testaceous,” and numerous others, equally offen-
sive to good sense and correct taste. We meet also
with such phrases as “a very obsolete spot,” “* a einer-
ascent striga totally obliterated,” the meaning of which
I do not pretend to be able to decypher, as my eyes are
not acute enough to perceive what is “obsolete” or
“ totally obliterated,” much less to see its colour. If T
had room I could exemplify this in many other things
than colour—such as “ strigated” for “ streaked 5”
besides the use of Latin words innumerable, without
alteration, where English words would be more expres-
sive.

But with all this affectation of mongrel Latin so bar-
harously mixed up with English, the writers seem to have
but’a very scanty knowledge of Latin itself; for when
the descriptions pretend to be in Latin, all grammar is
set at defiance, and it is no more Latin than the other
is English, it being no very uncommon occurrence to
meet with such phrases as “ad stigmatibus flavis,”
“ lituré interjecto,” ‘*puncto ocellaris,” “ stigma antica,”
“ stigmata site ;” and similar ungrammatical language,
such as would not even have been blundered upon by a
schoolboy.

Science can never be benefitted by terms and lan-
guage of this sort, while it is out of all question thereby
degraded and confined to a narrow circle, beyond which
it can only be extended by simple terms and plain lan-

Vili PLAN OF THE WORK.

guage, such as are used in other departments of human
knowledge,

Tn consequence of the materials which I was obliged
to use, I have not succeeded altogether according to
my wishes, in simplifying the following descriptions ;
but I trust there are so few of the stumbling blocks left,
that the student may easily surmount them.

The groundwork of the description of British but-
terflies and moths was first laid by Mr. Haworth, who
has certainly not been surpassed in minute accuracy by
any of his followers, most of whom have borrowed
largely from him without acknowledgment. I owe him
my best thanks for the loan of the third part of his
valuable work, (now out of print, and very scarce,)
which he most liberally granted through the medium of
my friend Mr. Loudon, the distinguished author of
what I always call the miraculous “ Encyclopedia
of Plants.” The materials taken from this part are
uniformly marked by inverted commas; but I deem
it due to the author to state, that even where these
marks do not occur, by far the larger portion of this
little volume is a free translation from his Latin.

Next to Mr. Haworth, I haye been indebted to the
works of Mr. Stephens, more particularly his “ Syste-
matic Catalogue,” the names and order of which I
have, with a few exceptions, implicitly followed; and
I cannot too strongly recommend every person engaged
in the study of British insects to procure a copy of this

PLAN OF THE WORK. ix

very useful book. I have ventured to give names dif-
ferent from his, to the greater divisions of the Moths,
not that mine are unobjectionable, though they do not,
I hope, involve the Hibernian discrepancy of including
day-flying species under a night-flying division, as M.
Latreille’s certainly do,—one of the beauties, I suppose
of what is falsely called the natural system.

The work of Mr, Curtis is also highly valuable, from
the accuracy of the engravings and the novelty of the
subjects, of which I have taken occasional advantage
as I proceeded.

In all cases when I either possessed specimens, or
had access to them, I have not failed to compare the
descriptions of authors with the insect itself, in order
to arrive at as much accuracy as possible ; and though
Iam far from thinking that I have fallen into no
errors, 1 trust such as may be discovered will be found
trivial in comparison with the utility at which I have
aimed. I shall take it very kindly if lists of any such
errors, or information connected with the subject of
this, or my other projected volumes, be sent to me,
free of expense, to the publisher's.

In pursuance of my plan of publishing cheap and
comprehensive pocket volumes like the present, Iam
already considerably advanced with the ‘ Conspectus
of Botany,” that of “ Birds,” and that of Two-winged

x PLAN OF THE WORK.

Flies,” which will be accompanied with “ Alphabets
for Beginners,” uniform with the “ Alphabet of In-
sects.”

T have also for many years been collecting from ob-
servations in the fields, as well as from reading, the most
interesting facts connected with the manners and eco.
nomy of our native animals; and relative to those
described in this little Work, I have already materials
for a small volume, which I intend to arrange for pub-
lication under the title of “« Biography of British But-
terflies and Moths.”
