THE THIRD VOLUME 



OF 



A NATURAL HISTORY 



OF THE 



BRITISH BUTTERFLIES, 



THEIR WORLD-WIDE VARIATION AND GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION^ 



By J. W. TUTT, F.E.S., 



The third Yolume of the above standard work, ftilli/ and profusely illustrated, will 

 be published in 20 parts, at Is. per part. These parts will contain a monographic 

 revision of the British "blue " butter fties, confessedly the most difficult group of butterflies 

 to deal with biologically, represented in the British Isles. For this work life-histories of 

 each British species have been worked out at length, and photographs of the different 

 stages of almost every species made from life. 



Two parts of this new volume have now been published, dealing in the Preliminary 

 Chapters with "The Family-habits in the Chrysophanid Larvae," and " The Family- 

 habits in the Skipper Larvae," and in the Systematic part with " Everes argiades," the 

 rarest of British butterflies. 



The work will be fully and profusely illustrated. So much recent discovery has been 

 made in the structural characters of the "blue" butterflies, that it is possible to illus- 

 trate this as no other work has been illustrated. It will contain not only full-page 

 illustrations of the life-histories of the different species dealt with, but details of structure 

 quite new, and now published for the first time. 



To do this, however, to the fullest extent will require real support from all lepi- 

 dopterists who really make a scientific study of Butterflies. This part of the work wUl, 

 of course, be as valuable to Continental and American as to British lepidopterists. 



Subsa-ibers for the 20 parts (in the last volume these extended to 25 parts at the 

 same subscription price) is fixed at 17s. 6d., which viust be paid direct to J. Herbert Tutt. 

 Copies bought through the booksellers must be paid for at their face value per number. 

 To ensure delivery as soo7i as published, subscriptions should he sent direct, and the 

 following (or a similar) covering note forwarded therewith: —
