NABOKOV'S RARE FIRST SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATION UNSEEN BY JULIAR. Nabokov was an accomplished lepidopterist, and published more than a dozen technical papers on the natural history of butterflies, most while employed at Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology. He thought of butterfly hunting as 'the noblest sport in the world', and had been passionate about butterflies from an early age: at just ten years old he submitted to The Entomologist a drawing of what he thought was a new species; the editor discovered that the butterfly had already been named, but nonetheless praised the boy's illustration. Nabokov's collection of butterflies, now in Lausanne Museum, comprised more than 4000 specimens representing more than 80 per cent of Western Europe's varieties. Juliar AA1.1
