Heliconius
Updated checklist of Heliconius butterfly species according to Lamas. Some new taxa have recently been described, and some have been sunk, but Lamas & Jiggins 2017 is the last published list of species.

George Salt
Deleted a reference to memorial George William Salt in the Auk (previously reference 1). George William seems like a nice guy, but he was not a British Entomologist; George Salt FRS was.

J. B. S. Haldane
Corrected passage on "a limit on the speed of beneficial evolution". Actually the idea of genetic load is still debated today.

On Naval Timber and Arboriculture
I deleted the "multiple issues" comment. I did not check who wrote this, but it's a great summary of an interesting wrinkle on the history of evolution. It is written perhaps somewhat loosely, but it seems to me that if someone thinks it needs tightening up, they should do the work to do so, rather than slamming a comment like this on the top of the article.

Polyneoptera
It's unclear to me whether this is an authoritative well accepted name for this group. I do not find "Polyneoptera" very commonly elsewhere. I changed "was" to "were" to make it grammatical that "These winged insects ..." "... were formerly grouped ...".
