To be completed in about 1 6 Volumes or 465 'Parts, ^to, containing about 1 000 

 Coloured Plates depicting nearly 40,000 specimens, with letterpress giving all neces- 

 sary information in a concise form, care being taken to avoid all unnecessary details. 



Binding Cases will be issued for each volume. 



THIS Work, the outcome of years of research and world-wide travel, 

 forms the most exhaustive treatise on Butterflies and Moths. The 

 illustrations are by a superior and very expensive colour-process, assuring 

 an accurate representation of each specimen, great care being exercised 

 that only standard works such as Hampson, Oberthiir, and others should be 

 consulted when originals were unobtainable. 



The names of the Scientists and Collectors who are collaborating with the 

 Editor are a sufficient guarantee for the accuracy of the work. The various 

 species are classified in accordance with Hampson's system, and the work 

 on each Group is entrusted to a particular author. 



Thus the Editor has succeeded in producing a most reliable work of refer- 

 ence, appealing not only to cultured Entomologists, but to all interested in 

 the World's Macrolepidoptera.
