Scudder's Brief Guide to the Com- 

 moner Butterflies. 



By Samuel H. Scudder. xi -)- 206 pp. 



i2mo. $1.25. 



An introduction, for tlie young student, to 

 the names and something of the relationship 

 and lives of our commoner butterflies. The 

 author has selected for treatment the butter- 

 flies, less than one hundred in number, which 

 would be almost surely met with by an in- 

 dustrious collector in a course of a year's or 

 tvyo year's work in our Northern States east 

 of the Great Plains, and in Canada. While 

 all the apparatus necessary to identif^■ these 

 butterflies, in their earlier as well as perfect 

 stage, is supplied, it is far from the author's 

 puipose to treat them as if thev were so many 

 mere postage-stamps to be classified and ar- 

 ranged in a cabinet. He has accordingly 

 added to the descriptions of the different spe- 

 cies, their most obvious stages, some of the 

 curious facts concerning their periodicity and 

 their habits of life. 



Scudder's The Life of a Butterfly. 

 A Chapter in Natural History for 

 the General Reader. 



By S.wiUEL II. Scudder. iS6 pp. i6mo. 

 $1.00. 



In this book the author has tried to present 

 in untechnical language the story of the life 

 of one of our most conspicuous American 

 butterflies. At the same time, by introduc- 

 ing into the account of its anatomy, devel- 

 opment, distribution, enemies, and seasonal 

 changes some comparisons with the more or 

 less dissimilar structure and life of other but- 

 terflies, and particularly of our native forms, 

 he has endeavored to give, in some' fashion 

 and in brief space, a general account of the 

 lives of the whole tribe. By using a single 

 butterfly as a special text, one may discourse 

 at pleasure of many; and in the limited field 

 which our native butterflies cover, this meth- 

 od has a certain advantage from its simplicity 

 and directness.
