THE second part of this Work is devoted to illustrations of types of J apanese Moths in the British Museum. The fauna of Japan, on account of its mixture of European, Indian, and North-American forms, has always claimed the special attention of zoologists interested in the facts of geographical distribution. As regards Moths, European forms are predominant, many species being most closely allied to those of Europe, and, singularly, some forming links between species hitherto found in Europe only. The study of these Lepidoptera has been greatly facilitated by the acqui- sition of the large collection made at Yokohama by Mr. F. M. Jonas, and of two smaller series selected from the collections formed by Mr. Henry Pryer in 187 5 in the vicinity of the cane locality, and by Mr. Henry Whitely at Hakodaté in the year 1866. The descriptions of this second part have been prepared by Mr. A: G. Butler, F.L.S., one of the Senior Assistants in the Department of Zoology. ALBERT GUNTHER, Keeper of the Department of Zoology.
