I thank you for Barcant's Butterflies of Trinidad and Tobago which I found here on my return from a trip to S.Portugal.

The photographs are good and, generally speaking, the book should be of considerable help [ ]In itself Barcan't work is very amateurish, the style is trivial and redundant [ ] I continue to be distressed by the illiterate vogue of omitting the names of genus-describers - and this not because my own name is omitted (in the case of Echinargus Nabokov to which I assigned huntingtoni, p.84, which I was the first to dissect and figure) but because no taxonomic term is clear and correct unless its author's name is affixed to it [ ] Vladimir Nabokov"
