" No general faunal study is known to the reviewer which can compare with Mr. Tutt's 

 in scope and execution. It is greatly to be hoped that the volumes we now have will be 

 followed by others to the completion of the entire work." — A. E. Grote, M.A., The 

 Canadiau Kiitomolotiist. November, 1900. 



" The first portion of each of the two volumes issued of Mr. Tutt's work on British 

 lepidoptera forms an elaborate natural hisiory of the earlier stages of the order. Any 

 student following these chapters with thoroughness will have a liberal education upon 

 insect metamorphosis. In his treatment of the Psychides we have by far the most 

 comprehensive monograph on them yet written in the English language. We have before 

 us the unravelling of a most complicated subject, and here again will be found a rearrange- 

 ment of facts of the utmost value in the study of evolution at large. The work is ' 

 indispensable to all lepidopterists." — J. T. Carrington, F.E.S., Science Gondp. December, 

 1901. 



' ' Mon attention a ete encore appelee specialement sur la f amille des Zygenides par 

 i'apparition recente d'un ouvrage (Tlie Nutitml History of the BritiKh I.epiiloptcra) des 

 plus importants du aun auteur anglais. Jamais, a ma connaissance, il n'avait ^te fait une 

 etude aussi approfondie des Lcpidopteres, examines minutieusement dans leur quatre 

 etats successifs ainsi qu'au point de vue des mceurs, de la reparation geographique et de 

 I'habitat. Je renvoie a cet ouvrage ceux des lecteurs qui voudraient faire une 6tude 

 approfondie de la famille des Zygenides." — L, Dupont, Les Zyqenes de la Nonimndie. 

 1900. 



" Mr. Tutt seems to aim at making his book a huge compendium and cyclopaedia of 

 all that has been published on the species of which he treats, and it will be of great value 

 to generalizing entomologists, who will be able to sift from it a great amount of valuable 

 information in furtherance of their special studies. We wish to emphasize its great value as 

 a book of reference for public Natural History and Entomological libraries." — W. F. Kirby, 

 F.L.S. Annuls and M(i!i<Kine of Ndtnnil History. 1902. 



" In comprehensiveness and fulness of detail on all points of interest to the biologist, 

 the systematist and the collector, this work is, as regards the particular subjects treated, 

 without a rival. The whole subject is treated with wideness and appreciativeness of view. 

 There are so many public libraries, institutions etc., in England, in Amei'ica, on the 

 European Continent and elsewhere, to which the possession of this work will be so 

 absolutely indispensable, that it may be hoped that the demand will justify the great 

 expenditure of labour and time that has been made upon it. It should be in every 

 reference library in the provinces professing to be of a comprehensive character." — 

 F. Merritield F.E.S., The Kntomoloyist. April, 1899. 



" The three volumes which lie before us of this important work, we may safely say 

 put all others of the kind in the shade. The work extends to spheres which are also of 

 exceedingly great importance to the continental lepidopterist and which lend to the 

 volumes an especial value. The work deserves our full attention and recognition and the 

 opportunity for its study is not to be missed by collectors of European lepidoptera to whom 

 it is not less valuable than to the Briton, indeed, one may say, it is almost indispensable. 

 The price — distributed according to the time of appearance of the single volumes — is one 

 that can well be borne, and continental lepidopterists, but more especially, institutions 

 and societies, should make it their bus.ness, by procuring the books, to support and further 

 the undertaking, and we wish the author success in bringing the gigantic work in due 

 course to its close." — H. Stichel, Berliner Entonioloyisclte Zeitschrift. December, 1902.
