The most importint work ever offered to British lepidopterists. The British fauna = 

 is merely taken as the groundwork for the thorough revision of each superfamily treated, -y 

 and the work thus becomes of first importance to all lepidopterists in the world — v; 

 systematists, biologists, synonymists, phenologists, &c. This important work puts all -, 

 others of the kind into the shade. It deserves our full attention and recognition, and the ■ 

 opportunity for its study is not to be missed by any students of European lepidoptera to •* 

 whom it is no less valuable than the Briton {Berl. Ent. Zeitx., December 1902).
