MACROLEPIDOPTERA by PROF. DR. A. SEITZ. 

 Critical Remarks by WJLHELM LEHR, Baltimore, Md. 



The issue of Volume II of "Macrolepidoptera of the World," by 

 Prof. Seitz, concludes the palaearctic part of this great work, in so far 

 as "Moths (Tineidae) and Spinners" (Bombycidae) are concerned. 

 This volume is quite extensive, containing fully 440 pages of text 

 alone, irrespective of the index. 



It represents, like Volume I, the "Butterflies," the most complete 

 work of its kind known to-day in this line of literature. Above all. 

 it contains the pictures of almost all the species of the Amur Region, 

 of Turkestan, of the Caucasus, of Persia, of Syria, etc., many of these 

 illustrations appearing for the first time. 



The text of this volume was compiled by nine authors, generally 

 known as reliable authorities on Entomology. In this respect it cer- 

 tainly is astonishing that notwithstanding the "many cooks," a pleas- 

 ing uniformity in the book, in regard to text as well as to the plates, 

 could be obtained, which uniformity does not appear in so marked a 

 degree throughout Volume I.
