Dr. Holland exhibited some plates that he has prepared for 

 his new "Moth Book," about eighteen of them having been 

 completed, which were pronounced by all present to be the finest

 It will, I believe, contain over 1,500 insects illustrated in color, 

 besides hundreds of cuts, the color plates covering all known 

 genera.

 some selected genus for comparison and discussion, which has 

 added largely to the interest and profit of our meetings.
