 The Wanderings and Observations of a Field Naturalist. 



Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 



" In the Random Recollections of Mr. Tutt we have a series of papers which deal 

 mainly with entomological subjects. In a very free and easy style the author re- 

 lates the various incidents connected with expeditions undertaken by him in different 

 parts of the country in pursuit of his favourite study. These are very pleasantly 

 told, and they will afford interesting reading to all field naturalists. By the chatty 

 and pleasant way in which Mr. Tutt has treated his subject, he has invested it with 

 an interest for many, who are not sufficiently keen on entomology, to induce them 

 to peruse a purely scientific treatise. The book is interspersed with anecdotes and 

 episodes, and a great deal of useful and interesting information concerning the 

 habits and characteristics of insects is imparted in such a manner that, if the aim 

 of the author has been to instruct under cover of being amusing, he must be 

 allowed to have succeeded to an appreciable degree. Many of the peculiarities of 

 insect life are told in a terse and lucid style, and Mr. Tutt may be commended for 

 having produced a book which is a decided acquisition to the field naturalist, and 

 forms a useful contribution to popular entomology." The Field. Jan. 13th, 1894. 



" Bandoro ficollction* of Woodland, Fen and Hill is just the book that young 

 entomologists, and one that even those who are advanced in life, will take pleasure 

 in reading, for it conveys a most graphic impression of the scenes it portrays, and 

 the author is eagerly accompanied on his rambles by the willing reader." Science 

 Si/tings. Dec. 30th, 1893. 



" There is much to be learnt from Mr. Tntt's pages on the mimicry of insects, 

 their metamorphoses, and life-history in general. Mr. Tutt's researches in the 

 fens of Bast Anglia and his account of insects, which are either extinct there or 

 fast dying out, thanks to drainage and ploughing up of their old haunts, are at 

 once interesting and melancholy. It is seldom that the change is shown in 

 minute life with the care and fidelity with which Mr. Tutt displays it. He meets 

 keepers, coastguardmen, and the like in his researches, and these rencontres are 

 amusingly told. His book was worth writing and deserves perusal." Academy. 

 Jan. 6th, 1894. 



" Another book that invites us with no uncertain charm into the open air and 

 far from populous towns, is Bandom Recollections of JPoodland, Pen and Hill, 

 though Mr. Tutt's themes are of course mainly of scientific interest, and such as 

 appeal to the young and zealous entomologist. Moths and butterflies are the 

 objects of Mr. Tutt's open-air studies, as recorded in this interesting book, and the 

 varied results of an old campaigner among field naturalists are therein gathered. 

 There is nothing that savours of the cabinet and its pungent odours about these 

 vivid and entertaining recollections of an experienced entomologist, and much 

 that is of interest to the general reader, with still more that is likely to prove useful 

 to the collector who does his own collecting." Saturday Review. Feb. 17th, 1894. 



" Nine very interesting papers on Natural History subjects which we have read 

 with much appreciation. We have seen few books better calculated to instil a love 

 of Natural History in young people than this." Journal of Microscopy.
