*' For a very moderate price this handbook furnishes the beginner with 

 a series of hints how to catch and kill beetles for his collection, and how 

 to identify them when captured and killed. We can recommend the 

 commencing naturalist to consider the beetle and its ways, and to buy 

 this handbook by reason of its clearness of description." 



Daily Chronicle. 



"The portion of the book modestly termed the 'Introduction' is a 

 valuable and thoroughly practical series of articles upon the structure 

 of beetles, their development, habits of beetles, and how to catch them 

 and kill them, arrangement of the collection, etc. It is written so clearly 

 that the beginner could have no difficulty in identifying and classifying 

 his finds. Over 500 of the species described are beautifully figured and 

 coloured, the illustrations greatly enhancing the value of a handbook that 

 can be heartily recommended to all naturalists." — Liverpool Post.
