Publisher's Synopsis
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.
