A detailed account of the British Sphingids, quite encyclopaedic in its 

 character, with general details of the whole group, their afifinities and classifica- 

 tion, their habits, early stages, distribution, etc. ; full account of their 

 hybridisation and gynandromorphism, their variation and local races. Every 

 British entomologist ought to make it his business to see this work, if he sees it, 

 he will buy it, even if he makes no other investment in entomological books. 

 Every available detail that can be gathered, either from British records or abroad, 

 has been accumulated to make up a huge collection of facts about each species, of 

 which even the most advanced lepidopterist can have no conception till he has 

 seen the work. The account of Agrius convolvuU occupies 63 pages, and that of 

 Maniluca atrojjos, 76 pages of detailed facts, whilst the accounts of Sesia-t 

 stellatarum, Eiimorpha elpenor, Theretra 2Jorcellus, Hippotion celerio, Phryxus 

 livornica, Celerio gallii, Hyles enplwrhiae, Daplinis nerii, Hyloicus pinastri and 

 8p)hmx ligustri must be held to be unrivalled. The older British lepidopterists 

 who regret the decay of British entomology as they knew it, will see, by refer- 

 ence to this work, what they and their contemporaries have done, by their steady 

 work, towards the grand total of knowledge that we now have of these species. 

 Over a thousand different entomologists have been drawn on for material in con- 

 nection with this work. 



It is remarkable that, although entitled A Natural History of British 

 Lejndoj^tera, the German lepidopterists have insisted on a German translation. 

 Such a book must be more valuable to the British lepidopterist, and if every one 

 would see it, no doubt he would want it. 



The Hon. W. Rothschild and Dr. Jordan write in their standard Bevision 

 of the Sphingidae: " Tutt's work is the most intrinsic ever written on the 

 Paljearctic Lepidoptera. There is nothing written anywhere on European 

 Lepidoptera coming up to it in thoroughness." Mr. W. Bateson, F.R.S., writes : 

 " The new British Lepidoptera is a fine scholarly piece of work, for which not 

 only the entomological specialist, but naturalists of all orders, will be thankful to 

 Mr. Tutt for many a year, etc."
