with plain and coloured plates, maps, portraits, &c. It was 

 preceded by Maynard's "Butterflies of New England" (Boston, 

 1885 and 1886), a quarto volume with coloured plates. 



Strecker's ''''Lepidoptera: Rhopaloceres ^r\<MIete race res" (Read- 

 ing, Pennsylvania, 187 2-1 87 7), contains a considerable num- 

 ber of figures, chiefly, though not quite exclusively, of North 

 American Lepidoptera. The series of figures of species 

 belonging to Lyccetia, Folyomniafus, Sincrinthus, and their 

 allies are perhaps the most useful. 



Stretch's " Illustrations of the Zygcvnidce and Bombycidce of 

 North America," a small but beautifully illustrated book, not 

 continued beyond the first volume, was published at San 

 Francisco from 1872 to 1874. 



Two large quarto works by Dr. A. S. Packard require 

 special notice. The " Monograph of the Geometrid Moths or 

 PhalcEnidce of the United States " was published at Washington 

 in 1876 as vol. x. of Ilayden's quarto "Reports of the United 

 States Geological Survey of the Territories." This work is 

 illustrated with numerous plates of Motlis, larvce, neuration, 

 and details. 



Another very elaborate work, published in 1895, is Packard's 

 ** Monograph of the Bombycine Moths of America North of 

 Mexico; including their Transformations and Origin of the Larval 

 Markings and Armature. Part i. Family I. Notodotitidccy 



We have already noticed this volume {atifea, pp. xl.-xlii.), and 

 have only to add that such work as has been lately produced 

 in America by men like W. H. Edwards, A. S. Packard, and 

 S. H. Scudder, goes far beyond almost everything that has been 

 accomplished in Europe, where Entomologists seem to have 

 neither time nor opportunity to carry out their work on any- 

 thing like the same scale of completeness. 



Among the numerous smaller works which are constantly 

 appearing in America, Fernald's " Synopsis of North American
