" The woi-k is published in quarto in sumptuous style, is unexceptionable in typography and 

 profusely illustrated. Besides 46 plates of some of the best chromo-lithographs of butterflies 

 which we have ever seen, there are 12& woodcuts scattered through the text, generally illustrating 

 special structural features, especially in neuratiou and leg structure, which are of the greatest 

 value. . ., . It remains only to say that a good deal of interesting reading will be found scattered 

 through the jjortly volume, and that there are points in the preface worthy of careful attention. 

 About 500 species are described." — S. H. Scudder.
