Excerpt from Lepidoptera of the Congo: Being a Systematic List of the Butterflies and Moths Collected by the American Museum of Natural History Congo Expedition, Together With Descriptions of Some Hitherto Undescribed Species About two years ago I happened to visit The American Museum of Natural History and, among other things, was shown the large col lection of Lepidoptera which had been brought back from the interior of the Congo State by Messrs. Lang and Chapin. The gentlemen in charge requested me to undertake the task of arranging and classifying the Lepidoptera. In a moment of weakness I acceded to the request, but with the proviso that they must not expect from me an immediate report, in View of the fact that my duties were already very numerous and that the work would have to be done at odd moments of time. The collections were-sent to me, the butterflies being, I think, more in number than were in the Congo Museum in 1903. The result is the list herewith presented, which represents work done in the midst of incessant interruptions, or at times given to me for rest and vacation, or when others have been in bed and asleep. It has been a labor of love. I hope that to some extent it may help students of the future. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
