(An Encyclopsedia of Field Lepidopterology.) 



Roughly, the number of species of lepidoptera in the whole British fauna amounts to 

 about 2100 species. It was not until the three parts were carefully indexed by Mr. 

 Turner that it was suspected how wide a field the Hints covered, and how comparatively 

 few of the British species, other than the very commonest, received no hint as to their 

 mode of capture in one or other of their stages. The long general index shows that the 

 work is encyclopaedic from the field lepidopterist's point of view, and nothing so complete as 

 the hints on sallowing, light, sugaring, egg-laying, larva-hunting (in all its forms), pupa- 

 hunting, and the various phases of rearing lepidoptera — breeding-cages, treatment, food, 

 &c. — has ever previously been attempted. In addition to these points, five chapters, simple 

 enough for the beginner, and yet wide enough to teach the expert something, have been 

 added, with the intention of suggesting to the field lepidopterist how to use his observa- 

 tions and work, not only to his own advantage, but also to the advantage of entomological 

 science, and the book can be recommended as being of first value to all field entomolo-) 

 gists, whilst the chapters on the preservation, mounting, measurement and photographing! 

 of eggs, will appeal to a very large class of entomologists.
