Price 5s. net. Interleaved, 6s. 



Limp cloth covers. — Handy for the knapsack. 



This book is of the highest value not only to collectors of Continental Butter- 

 flies, but to air those who collect British butterflies, as it gives a great many detailed 

 facts about the species in which they &,re more particularly interested. 



The details of Variation and Distribution are particularly important, and those 

 lepidopterists to whom Kane's book has long been a treasui'ed friend, will find in this 

 more information, more detail, and many more localities than were at the disposal of 

 the author of the earlier volume. 



" To those who carry a net abroad, this handbook will be invaluable as a book of 



reference We can cordially recommend it " — H. Rowland-

THEIB WORLD-WIDE VARIATION AND DISTRIBUTION. 



Vol. IV. 



Commencing with the Variation and Life-histories of Agriades coridonand Polyommatus 



icurus (with four plates of the named aberrations and varieties of the first-named species 



together with many photomicrographs of larval and pupal structure. Similar plates of 



P. icariis are awaiting publication.) 



Probably the finest life-histories of any species of lepidoptera ever published. The next 

 species to be treated is Aricia astrarche, a still more interesting one with regard to its 

 Varieties and Aberrations.
