Excerpt from The Butterflies and Moths of Teneriffe When the author left England, in the autumn of 1892, for a winters sunshine in Teneriffe, it was by no means her intention to write on the Lepidoptera of that Island. Soon after her arrival, however, she was struck by two things, the want of any sort of interesting out-door occupation (other than somewhat desultory riding expeditions) experienced by her companions in exile, and the absence of any account of the Lepidoptera of the Canary Islands, which we aid enable collectors to name their specimens. It is her hope that the present publication may be, at least to some extent, the means of remedying these deficiencies.
