NATURAL HISTORY OF THE 



BRITISH LEPIDOPTERA 



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



Vols. I, II, 111, IV, V, Vlll, and IX. 



(Bound in Cloth, complete.) 



The nearness of the completion of Vol. IX of this important work, leads us to make 

 the following offer, which ivill he withdrawn as soon as Vol. IX is officially published, 

 when the standard net price of £1 per volume will be insisted upon as hitherto, viz., 

 The seven vols, will be forwarded for £5 12s.— Yols. I, 11, III, lY, Y, and YIII 

 to be sent at once and Yol. IX as soon as published. 



In spite of the apparent dearness of this work, it is in reality the clieapest ever 

 published. Each volume averages more than 500 pages of solid Long Primer and Brevier, 

 of demy 8vo. size ; all the contents consisting of summarised detail, and without any 

 superfluous padding. It is a book for students, who really want all the available informa- 

 ' tion on the subject dealt with. It is the standard work in use among all the be!<t scientific 

 ■lepidopterisis on the continent as well as in the British Islands, and is possibly more often 

 referred to by workers on the Palaearctic fauna than any other book in existence. It 

 covers all the Continental work ever done on the groups treated, and not only gives the 

 facts, but informs the student how to get at everything published on the subject he is 

 reading. 



The illustrations of the later volumes are quite unequalled. There are, in the volume 

 now being published, lull-page life-histories of each species, and detailed structural plates 

 of egg, larvae and larval hairs, spiracles, etc., pupae and pupal hairs, spiracles, etc., and 

 other items illustrating quite new discoveries in the structure of the early stages, etc. 



The series of volumes forms indeed a standard work of reference, and any lepidop- 

 terist who possesses the volumes wants rarely to make reference to outside libraries for 

 a,ny detail, however unusual, on the subjects treated. 



The general chapters, too, are summaries of everything known and published on the 

 various subjects. The preliminary chapters, also, introducing each superfamily, covers 

 the world-wide literature, and questions of classification and systematic entomology are 

 discussed from the broad standpoint of the fauna of the world, and net from any restricted 

 or limited point of view. The work, therefore, is one that appeals to all lepidopterists. 



This offer can only be considered by being made directly to Mr. J. H. Tutt. Single 

 volumes can only be supplied at £1 net. 



Dear Sie, — 



Please forward me Vols! I, II, III, IV, V, and VIII of The Natural History of 

 British Lepidoptera at once, and Vol. IX as soon as published, for which I send herewith 

 Cheque (or Postal Order) for £5 12s.
