NATURAL HISTORY OF THE 



BRITISH BUTTERFLIES 



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



Vols. I and II. 



(Bound in Cloth, complete.) 



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

 the following offer, lohich will he loitlidraion as soon as Vol. II is officially published, 

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

 The two yols. vfill be forwarded for £1 12s. 6d.— Yol. I to be sent at once and 

 Vol. II as soon as published. 



It is hoped to have tliis volume in the hinder^s hands before the publication of this num- 

 ber of the Ent. Record is published. 



In spite of the apparent dearness of this work, it is in reality the cheapest 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 « book for students, who really want all the available inforina- 

 tion on the subject dealt with. It is the standard icork in use among all the best scientific 

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

 referred to by workers on the Palaearrtic 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 these two volumes are quite unequalled. There are, in the volume 

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

 of egg, larvEe and larval hairs, spiracles, etc., pupee and pupal hairs, spiracles, etc., and 

 other itejus 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 

 any 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 not fi'om 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 Sir, — 



Please forward me Vol. I of The Natural History of British. Butterflies at once, 

 and Vol. II as soon as published, for which I send herewith Cheque (or Postal Order) 

 for £1 12s. 6d.
