George F. Hampson, and published by the Trustees. The 
endeavor in this work is to give a complete view of the entire 
subject in compact form, and the learned author has enlisted 
the cooperation of the most distinguished* lepidopterists through¬ 
out the world in the prosecution of his great task. The work is 
of course somewhat expensive, but the working lepidopterist 
cannot well do without it. Much help may also be derived from 
the older works of Burmeister and Westwood, which, though 
old, are far from being obsolete and useless.
