So that on average if a male cost 100, a female cost 149 — or the price of male to female is as 100 to 149; consequently by standard for every 100 females there wd be 149 males.

(Species & Vars  (are they all European?) So that the price of each female on average being called 100, a male costs only

There are in list of 300 of butterflies, & of these 113 differ in prices by sex: that males in all cases but one being the cheapest or commonest Mr D. says probably many are bred.—

There are about 2000 species & vars. Of Heterocera moths in catalogue. Exchange those with Aplennes females of these 141 differ by sexes in female; in only 11 the males are dearer than females; in 130 the males are cheaper in proportions given. However sexes do not differ apparently in number as often in moth as with butterflies & difference not quite so great & this agrees with less apparent results of sexual selection.—
