Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Papilio, Vol. 4: Devoted Exclusively to Lepidoptera
In assuming Editorial control of papilio, I have only to say that it will be my constant aim to conduct it in such a manner that the change in its management will not be too conspicuous. It has shown, not only its right to exist, but that its discontinuance would be a serious loss to our Science, and it was this fact alone that induced me, in compliance with the requests of some of its most earnest supporters, to take up the mantle laid down by my accomplished predecessor.
