The Entomologist's Log-Book. A Dictionary of the Life-histories and 

 Food-plants of the British Macro-Lepidoptera. Giving many 

 thousands of Facts and Data connected with the appearance of 

 the Ova, Larvae, Pupae, and Imagines ; Methods of Capture ; 

 Habitats ; Food-plants ; Authorities ; Synonyms, &c, in Latin 

 and English throughout, and interleaved for private notes. By 

 Alfred George Scorer, F.E.S., &c. Pp. i.-vii. and 1-374. 

 London : George Boutledge & Sons, Limited. 1913. 

 As will be gathered from the analysis of contents appearing on 

 the title-page, this bulky volume is not only an epitome of recorded 

 facts concerning British Macro-Lepidoptera, but as it is interleaved 

 with blank paper, space is provided for additional matter, new or 

 otherwise, that it may be desirable to'enter. In almost every case use- 

 ful notes in reference to larva and pupa, as well as imago, are given. 

 As the subjects are arranged alphabetically, there is no difficulty 

 in turning up details of insects or food-plants, even when only their 

 English names are known. 



The preparation of a work of this kind is little short of actual 

 drudgery, and we heartily congratulate Mr. Scorer on the highly 

 successful result of his labour. It appeals to all lepidopterists, but 

 will be of the greatest value to the field worker.
