With reference to the latter, I ask, who here would willing- ly adopt such a name for the Antiopa of California? ! Every person from Germany greets it here as "Trauermantel" (mourning cloak), and may ask, perhaps, how is it called in English? Could I answer? So with "Atalanta."

D'Urban calls it the Storm Fritillary, but it is not a Fritillary. Gosse
called it the Archippus, but this is not its proper name. It is one of the largest of our butterflies, and rules a vast domain. 10. Basilarchia Disippe.- The Viceroy.
This name is suggested from its mimicry of the preceding species. 11. Basilarchin Astyanax.- The red-spotted Purple. This name was proposed by Gosse.
12. Basilarchia Arthemis.- The banded Purple. Also proposed by Gosse.
13. Doxocopa Heme.-The tawny Emperor.
The species of this group are termed-amp erors in England 14. Polygonia interrogationis.- The Violet-tip. A name well proposed by Goshe.
