220 GLAUCUS ; OR, 
For Entomology, which, after all, is the study 
most fit for boys (as Botany is for girls) who have 
no opportunity for visiting the sea-shore, Catlow’s 
“Popular British Entomology,” having coloured 
plates (a delight to young people), and saying some- 
thing of all the orders, is, probably, still a good 
work for beginners. 
Mr. Stainton’s “ Entomologist’s Annual for 1855” 
contains valuable hints of that gentleman’s on taking 
and arranging moths and butterflies; as well as of 
Mr. Wollaston’s on performing the same kind office 
for that far more numerous, and not less beautiful 
class, the beetles. There is also an admirable 
“Manual of British Butterflies and Moths,” by Mr. 
Stainton, in course of publication; but, perhaps, the 
most interesting of all entomological books which 
I have seen (and for introducing me to which I 
must express my hearty thanks to Mr. Stainton), is 
“ Practical Hints respecting Moths and Butterflies, 
forming a Calendar of Entomological Operations,” ? 
by Richard Shield, a simple London working-man.
