Woes Of Butterfly Collectors.

Butterfly collectors are seldom able
to estimate with any confidence the
value of their collections, since the
prices for specimens so constantly
vary. A case in point is that of the
blue butterfly of Brazil, specimens OF
which were originally sold for from
$50 to $75. Not long ago some cob
lectors who supplied the London mar
ket ran into a perfect swarm of these
butterflies and shipped to England
such quantities that better specimens
than the original insects are sold for
81 each. 1t not infrequently happens
that two or three specimens of Ger
tain family are discovered by collect
ors, who, encouraged by the high
prices received for their finds, are
tempted to prosecute their search for
this particular variety without results
for several years. Suddenly they or
some other collector finds the insects
grown plentiful, and the cherished var
ieties of the cabinet become among
the commonest specimens.
