1(3:2 LIST OF ENTOMOLOGICAL BOOKS. 



STAINTON'S ENTOMOLOGISTS COMPANION. 



Second Edition. 12mo. Price 3s. Van Voorst. 



A complete Manna] for the collector of the Tixeixa. with a 

 list of the species appearing in each month of the year, whether in 

 the states of larva, pupa and imasfo. with information what local- 

 ities they frequent and on what plants they feed— also with notices 

 of tfa - efferent genera. 



STEPHENS" ILLUSTRATIONS OF BRITISH 

 ENTOMOLOGY. The Lepidoptera, complete in 4 vols., 

 may be had separately. Svo. With Coloured Plates. .£4 : 4s. 



Bohx. 



Though far behind the present state of the Science, this is by far 

 the best general work on the British L-r idoptera. 



WESTYTOOD'S BUTTERFLIES OF GREAT BRI- 

 TAIN. With '20 Coloured Illustrations. Large Svo. Cloth, 

 gilt, 15s. ; or morocco, :21s. Orr axd Co. 



The best work that has yet appeared on this subject, though still 

 far from what we could wish. Absurd blunders are repeated, and 

 fresh ones perpetrated, but Entomologists of the present day are so 

 little given to reading, that few are likely to notice the errors and 

 perhaps few will be misled by them. 



WESTWOOD AND HUMPHREYS" BRITISH 

 MOTHS AND THEIR TRANSFORMATIONS. 

 With 1*24 Coloured Plates. 2 vols. 4to. Cloth lettered, 

 £4 : 4s. ; or halfbd. morocco, £5. Orr axd Co. 



The letter-press is inferior to Stephens, and the plates far inferior 

 X)d : the important distinguishing feature is the figures of the 

 larva? : these are copied from various foreign works, and where the 

 foreign author had mistaken or confused two larvae the error is 

 ".after part of the second volume is probably a good 

 sample of how badly a scientific book may be written, by an un- 

 scrupulous author, with little knowledge of the subject, copying 

 wholesale from previous authors, who were themselves not trust- 

 worthy. We trust the day when such books can be written on 

 Entomology is now past— an inquiring spirit is abroad — which will 

 not accept such trash, even though in the form of quartos, half 

 bound in morocco.
