Description:Excerpt from Brief Guide to the Commoner Butterflies of the Northern United States and Canada: Being an Introduction to a Knowledge of Their Life-Histories During the preparation of a long-projected and still unpublished Manual of the Butterflies of North America, it occurred to me that when that was ready there would still be needed something less technical; something which should introduce to the young student the names and somewhat of the relationships and lives of our commoner butterflies; and that if such a guide were restricted to the commoner butterflies of the region where it would be most used, viz., our Northern States east of the Great Plains - much the same territory as was originally and wisely covered by Gray's Manual of Botany - the actual extent of the work would be so limited as to bring it within the reach of all, not alarm the beginner by its magnitude, and, because they are better known, permit a fuller account of their interesting life-histories. I have accordingly selected the butterflies - less than a hundred of them - which would almost surely be met with by any industrious collector in the course of a year's or two years' work in the more populous Northern States and in Canada, and have here treated them as if they were the only ones found there. I have omitted many species which are common enough in certain restricted localities (such, for instance, as our White Mountain butterfly) and included only those which are common over wide areas.
