Text in italic typeface is enclosed by underscores (_italics)_. Text in small capital typeface is displayed as ALL UPPER CASE. Text in bold typeface is enclosed by equal symbols (=bold=). [OE] and [oe] represent upper and lower case oe ligatures. [psi] and [gamma] represent the respective Greek letters of that name. An acute accent is represented ['e]. Diaeresis is represented [:e]. Instances of distinctive font symbols (T, V, W, Y) which occur in the names and descriptions of several species etc. are shown in upper case. Note that numerous taxonomic names have changed since 1894. The formatting of Latin names also differs from current conventions; _e.g._, in this book species names are typically, but not invariably, capitalised. No attempt has been made to update this. Some minor changes have been made to obvious format and punctuation inconsistencies, but other inconsistent usages have been retained. Where obvious typographical errors have been corrected, these are listed at the end of the book. BUTTERFLIES AND MOTHS (British) * * * * * OUT-DOOR WORLD LIBRARY.
