About this book
The Butterflies of the British Isles has a list of parts that names, among others, a preface, an introductory section, Part I, Part II and a classified list of the British butterflies. The text says that the false legs of a caterpillar are the chief means of locomotion, and that the true legs are of little service for this purpose. The text points out the mouth parts in a figure of the head of a caterpillar, among others the biting jaws, the upper lip and the under lip.
The text says the Irish form known as præclara has the transverse band straw-coloured, a more vivid red colour, and heavier black veins and cross-lines. The text describes a form occurring in Scotland, known as var. scotica, in which the black is still more intense and the straw-coloured markings are dull in colour. The text describes a female that is brown with a fulvous discal wedge on the fore wings and an angulate series of fulvous spots beyond.
