Catlow. 1 vol. 2nd edition. Royal 16mo. With 16 

 Coloured Plates. Price 10s. (3d. L. Reeve. 



To give a young hand an insight into Entomology, there is pro- 

 bably no better work than this extant. It contains recognisable 

 coloured figures of twenty-three of our sixty-six species of British 

 Butterflies, besides figures of various other insects. 



WORKS ON ENTOMOLOGY IN GENERAL. 



CURTIS' BRITISH ENTOMOLOGY. 16 vols. 8vo. 

 £21. Now being re-issued in Monthly Numbers, 3s. 6d. 

 each. L. Reeve. 



All Entomologists agree in declaring the Plates in this Work to 

 contain the best Entomological Figures extant— they are 768 in 

 number, embracing all the orders, and representing a species in each 

 of the more important genera. The letter-press is short in quantity, 

 and very deficient in quality, and in fact had better be considered as 

 not there. The Tyro would be led into numberless errors by rest- 

 ing his faith upon it.
