Extract

It has been a fortunate thing for the study of butteflies in this country that the earlier students were those who devoted themselves very largely to the natural history of these insects rather than to their systematic or descriptive study. It was indeed a natural and healty result of the proverty of extrenal resources in earlier times; and I have though that it would not be devoid of interest to present a few facts concerning the life and iindustry of one of these earlier naturalists, who worked to such good purpose and accomplished so much, under circumstances that would now seem very forbidding.
