Ceylon, and Burma," was commenced by Colonel G. F. L. 

 Marshall and Mr. De Niceville, but is now continued by Mr. 

 De Niceville alone. It is in octavo, and is illustrated with 

 plates and woodcuts, and three volumes, including the Nym- 

 pJialidce^ Lefuoniidce, and Lyccenidce^ have at present been 

 published. The other work is Mr. Moore's *' Lepidoptera 

 Indica," in quarto, with coloured plates representing all the 

 species, and the metamorphoses of many of them. This work 

 extends at present as far as the genus Euthalia^ Hiibner 

 (Nymphalina^). 



A useful '• Catalogue of the Moths of India, including 

 Ceylon and Burniah," was published at Calcutta, in six parts, 

 between 1887 and 1889, by the Trustees of the Indian 

 Museum. It was edited by Messrs. Cotes and Swinhoe. 



Subsequently to the appearance of this Catalogue, Sir George 

 Hampson has issued four volumes in the series of works edited 

 by Mr. W. T. Blanford, under the title of " Fauna of British 

 India" (i 892-1 896), in which all the Macro-Lepidoptem, in- 

 clusive of the Pyrales and Cramhi (which the author treats as 

 sections of the same family) are described, and woodcuts given 

 of the genera, illustrating the neuration, antenna3, &c. In 

 addition to the works already mentioned, several volumes of 

 the "Illustrations of Typical Specimens of Lepidoptera 

 Hetcrocera in the Collection of the British Museum " (Parts 

 5-8, 1 881-1893), written by Dr. A. G. Butler and Sir George 

 Hampson, have been devoted to the Moths of India.

Mr. F. Moore has completed a large work on " The Lepi- 

 doptera of Ceylon " (3 vols. 4to, col. plates, 1880-1887), in 

 which the species and their metamorphoses are fully described 

 and illustrated. The work on which he is now engaged, the 

 " Lepidoptera Indica," is uniform with this book.
