Extract

In a recent issue of the Canadian Entomologist, No. viii, Vol. vi, there appears from the pen of Mr. Scudder a paper on “The Linnean Signification of the Generic Term Papilio,” containing some statements on which I propose to offer a few remarks.

The data given by Scudder from Linné's works are-save some minor typographical errors-correct, excepting in two important points. On p. 144 he says “in the year 1846 the first edition of the Fauna Suecica was published, in which Linne for the first time treats of species, giving to them names in the language of the country,” (The italics are mine.)
