Notice — Great reductiora in Price. 



It has been stated that many of our younger entomologists would be glad to poasess 

 ttie back volumes of llic Eiitoiii. Record, if they could be bought «,■. a lower price. 

 Also that librarians might be glad to purchase the same. In order to see whether this be 

 so we are temporarily reducing the price of complete sets of — 



The Entomologist's Record and Journal of Variation. 



(Vols. I-XX.) 



to £iy that is, at the rate of 4s. per volume. Sin^^iu uacK \uiLinii.s ai Os. pc-j mmluh.- 

 — any six volume.-; at Ss. 6d. per volume, or ten volumes at Ss. per volume. Odd copie'? 

 of the magazine at published price (plus postage). 



This is merely a temporary olTer and will be svithdrawn in a few weeks. It will, at 

 any rate, give entomologists the chance of obt^iining cheaply the finest set of Journals 

 containing details of Bntish and Continental collecLing ever published. The early 

 volumes deal almost entirely with British entomology, and collecting in the British Isles.

THE THIRD VOLUME 



OF 



A NATURAL HISTORY 



OF THE 



BRITISH BUTTERFLIES, 



THEIR WORLD-WIDE VARIATION AND GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION. 



By J. ^^[. TUTT, F.E.S., 



The third volume of the above standard work, falli/ and profusely illustrated, will 

 be published in 20 parts, at Is. per part. These paits will contain a monographic 

 revision of the British " hlue^' hutterjiiis, confessedly the mo.st difficult group of butterflies 

 to deal with biologically, represented in the British Isles. For this work life-histories of 

 each British species have been worked out at length, and photographs of the different 

 stages of almost every species made from life. 



Since the completion of the last volume, it has been necessary to revise the species 

 in the group to which Everes argiades belongs; this has now been done, if not altogether 

 so completely as one could wish, sufficiently for our purpose, and Part I is now to be 

 obtained from Messrs. Watkhis and Doncaster or Elliot Stock. The literature relating .to 

 some of the species is enormous, and we are fortunate in having persuaded the Rev. G. 

 Wheeler, 31. A., author of the well-known "Butterflies of Switzerland," to aid us in the 

 synonymic and more literary parts of our work. All our former collaborators, in addition, 

 are helping us with the present volume. 



The expense of ilhtstrativg this volume in detail will be so heavy, that we wish to 

 secure as large a subscription list as possible. We are sure that those who know the 

 work consider the illustrations a great improvement, but a larger subscription list is 

 necessary if we are to expand as largely as is possible in this direction. 



Suhscrihers for the 30 parts (in the last volume these extended to 25 parts at the 

 same subscription price) is fixed at 17s. 6d., which must be paid direct to J. Herbett Tutt. 

 Copies bought through the booksellers must be paid for at their face value per number. 

 J'o ensure delivery as toon as puhlishtd, subscriptions should be sent direct, ar.d the 

 following (or a similar) covering note forwarded therewith: — 



Please enter my name as a subscriber for the new series of 20 parts of A 

 Natural History of the British Butterflies, for which I enclose postal order for 17s. 6d.
