" On the whole, the sequence in Mr. 86tM»y^strig^6 appears to me more natural than that 

 in Doubleday's. Of course the entomological asjject of the Catalogue is the principal 

 thing. But I am glad that the author has not allowed himself to think that attention to 

 accessories can be dispensed with. There is abundant evidence that Mr. South has viewed 

 his subject with an entomological and orthographic eye. • * • • These minute 

 blemishes detract little or nothing from the credit that is justly due for the jMeparation of 

 the ' new Doubleday ' ; and British Lepidopterists owe much to Mr. South for the pains 

 he has taken in perfonning a somewhat thankless task." — J. W. Dcnnino, Esq., Prenident 

 of the Kntomological Society of London, in ' The Kntomoloni.tt.' "
