Roughly, the number of species of lepidoptera in the whole British fauna amount to 

 about 2100 species. It was not until the three parts were carefully indexed by Mr. 

 Turner that it was suspected how wide a field the Hints covered, and how comparatively 

 few of the British species received no hint as to their mode of capture in one or other of 

 their stages. The long general index-shows that the work is encyclopaedic from the field 

 lepidopterist's i^oint of view, nothing so complete as the hints on sallowing, light, sugar- 

 ing, egg-laying, larva-hunting (in all its forms), pupa-hunting, and the various phases of 

 rearing lepidoptera — breeding-cages, treatment, food, tfec. — having ever been attempted. 

 In addition to these points, five chapters, simple enough for the beginner, and yet wide 

 enough to teach the expert something, have been added, with the intention of suggesting 

 to the field lepidopterist how to use his observations and work, not only to his own 

 advantage, but also to the advantage of entomological science, and the book can be 

 recommended as being of first value to all field entomologists, whilst the chapters on the 

 preservation, mounting, measurement and photographing of eggs, will appeal to a very 

 large class of entomologists. 



Parts I and II are too well known, and have been so universally well spoken of by 

 the entomological press, that tfcere is only need to say that the second section of Part III 

 is on the same lines as the previous parts. This section alone (i.e., omitting the pre- 

 liminary chapters, plates (and their detailed explanation), general index and specific 

 index) is alone as large as Part I, and as full of detailed facts. 



Part I is nearly sold out, and is only available at 9s. Od. per part; Part II is still 

 available at 6s. Postal orders with order to be sent to
