33. British Moths. By J. \V. Tutt, F. E. S. George Routlege & Sons, 

 publishers, London and New York. This is an elementary treatise on 

 the moths of Great Britain and Contains 508 pages, 12 colored plates and 

 numerous wood cuts. This is a book appealing to the beginner, and 

 presents the subject up to date. The colored figures are crude, but an- 

 swer the purpose. Most of our entomological works are too expensive 

 and prohibitive thereby to the young naturalist. The author says in the 

 preface: " In spite of the large number of books relating to British moths 

 that have been published in recent years, it yet remains a serious but un- 

 doubted fact that there are only two completed books in which even the 

 species are correctly named. It is with the intention of pointing out to 

 young collectors and students the present condition of entomological 

 science that these pages have been penned. The lines of classification 

 adopted are those of the most recent authorities on the subject, and are 

 based on evolutionary lines." We have no such work as this on Amer- 

 ican moths, and while it does not treat of American species, yet it would 

 be useful in every other way to the student on this side of the water.
