Extract

This List is compiled on the same principle as the oxford and cambridge Accentuated List of British Lepidopiera, of which valuable little book we have made free use. A quotalion from its preface well explains our object:

“The want of uniformity in the pronunciation of scientific names, and the consequent difficulty of communication 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 this accentuated list of Canadian Lepidoptera.
