BOOK REVIEW. 

 " Macrolepidoptera of the World." By Prof. Dr. A. Seitz. 



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

 by Prof. Seitz, concludes the palearctic part of this great work, 

 inasmuch as "Moths" (Tineidee) and "Spinners" (Bombycidae) 

 are concerned. This edition is quite voluminous, containing fully 

 440 pages of text alone, irrespective of the index. 



It represents, like volume I of "Butterflies," the most complete 

 work of its kind known to-day. Above all, it contains figures of 

 almost all the species of the Amur region of Turkestan, of the 

 Caucasus, of Persia, of Syria, etc., many of these illustrations

 it certainly is astonishing that, notwithstanding the "many cooks," 

 a pleasing uniformity has been obtained in regard to the text as well 

 as to the plates, which uniformity does not appear in so marked 

 a degree throughout Volume I. 



The following figures will serve to give a good idea of the 

 thoroughness of the volume in question :

 years ago, 238 forms of Zygaenidse were enumerated, while "Seitz" 

 lists 418 Zygaenidse of the palearctic region alone; of Saturnidae 

 "Seitz" has 122, against "Staudinger-Rebel's" 31. Furthermore, 

 "Seitz" describes 329 Sphingidae against 100 mentioned in the
