VOL. V. INSECTS AND CENTIPEDES 



PeripatUS. By Adam Sedgwick, M.A., P\R.S., Fellow of Trinity College, 

 Cambridge ; formerly Professor of Zoology in the University of Cam- 

 bridge ; Professor of Zoology in the Imperial College of Science and 

 Technology. 



Myriapods. By F. G. Sinclair, M.A., Trinity College, Cambridge. 



Insects. Part I. Introduction, Aptera, Orthoptera, Neuroptera, 

 and a portion of Hymenoptera (Sessiliventres and Para- 

 sitica). By David Sharp, M.A. (M.B. Edin.), F.R.S. ; formerly 

 Curator in Zoology in the University of Cambridge. 



FIELD. — " Although written for the student and the specialist, the book is not the 

 less adapted to all intelligent readers who wish to make themselves thoroughly acquainted 

 with the habits, structure, and the modern classification of the animals of which it treats. 

 To such it cannot be recommended too strongly." 



SCIENCE GOSSIP. — " Every library, school, and college in the country should 

 possess this work, which is of the highest educational value." 



Prof. RAPHAEL MELDOLA, F.R.S. , F.C.S., in his Presidential Address to the 

 Entomological Society of London, said: — " The authors of this volume are certainly to be 

 congratulated upon having furnished such a valuable contribution to our literature. 

 When its successor appears, and I will venture to express the hope that this will be at no 

 very distant period, we shall be in possession of a treatise on the natural history of insects 

 which, from the point of view of the general reader, will compare most favourably with 

 any similar work that has been published in the English language." 



ENTOMOLOGIST'S MONTHLY MAGAZINE.— ''\Nq venture to think the 

 work will be found indispensable to all who seek to extend their general knowledge 

 beyond the narrowing influence of exclusive attention to certain orders or groups, and 

 that it will take a high position in 'The Cambridge Natural History' series." 



VOL. VI. INSECTS— Part II 



Hymenoptera continued (Tubulifera and Aculeata), Coleoptera, 

 Strepsiptera, Lepidoptera, Diptera, Aphaniptera, Thysanop- 

 tera, Hemiptera, Anoplura. By David Sharp, M.A. (M.B. Edin.), 

 F.R.S.; formerly Curator in Zoology in the University of Cambridge. 



SATURDAY REVIEW. — "Dr. Sharp's treatment is altogether worthy of the 

 series and of his own high scientific rej^iutation. But in a work of this sort it is not 

 only necessary that information should be accurate, but also that it shall be presented 

 to the eye, so far as illustrations and printing are concerned, in such a way as to render 

 its matter as easily intelligible as possible, and readily usable for purposes of reference. 

 Under both these heads we have nothing but commendation for Mr. Sharp's treatise. 

 The illustrations are indeed beautiful, and the use of the heavy type for the headings of 

 the various sections and leading paragraphs materially helps the reader in the progress 

 of his study. Certainly this is a book that should be in every entomologist's library." 



DAILY NEWS. — " It would be hard to say too much in praise of this most 

 admirable volume. It is too often the case that scientific books are written in a dull 

 and uninteresting style. The reader will find nothing of that kind to complain of here. 

 The descriptions are clear, the illustrations are excellent ; while, as in the previous 

 volumes of the series, printing and paper are all that could be desired."
