A HISTORY OF THE BIRDS OF EUROPE, 
NOT OBSERVED IN THE BRITISH ISLES. By C. R. Brez, M.D., 
F.Z.S. Illustrated with 288 coloured Plates of Birds and Eggs. In 
Five Volumes, super-royal 8yo., £5 5s. 
This work forms an appropriate supplement to Morris, Yarrell, or any other work on 
British Birds, and with any of them forms a comprehensive account of the Ornithology 
of Europe. In addition to the personal ability of the Author for his task, he has had 
the assistance of many eminent Continental naturalists, among whom are Professors 
Blasius of Brunswick, Schlegel of Leyden, M. de Selys-Longchamps, and M. Moquin- 
Tandon. 
‘Dr. Bree is favourably known to ornithologists by numerous contributions to our zoological 
periodicals, in all of which there is found the same genial spirit, and the same tone of good 
feeling, kindliness, and reverence, which pervade the present work. . . . The figures are, for 
the most part, highly satisfactory, and leave us in wonder how they could be produced, in 
combination with the full and copious text, for so small a price.’—Atheneum. 
New Edition, Enlarged. 
A HISTORY OF BRITISH BUTTERFLIES. 
By the Rey. F. 0. Morris, B.A. Illustrated with 72 beautifully-coloured 
Plates. In One Volume, super-royal 8vo., price £1 1s. 
With coloured illustrations of all the species, and separate figures of the male 
and female, where there is any obvious difference between them, and also of the 
under side, together with the Caterpillar and Chrysalis; and a full description of 
each, with copious accounts of their several habits, localities, and times of appear- 
ance, together with details as to their preservation, etc., with new and valuable 
information—the result of the author’s experience for many years. 
A NATURAL HISTORY OF BRITISH MOTHS. 
Accurately delineating every known species, with the English as well as 
the scientific names, accompanied by full descriptions, date of appearance, 
lists of the localities they haunt, their food in the caterpillar state, and 
other features of their habits and modes of existence, &c. By the Rey. 
F. 0. Morris, B.A. The Plates contain nearly 2,000 exquisitely coloured 
Specimens. In Four Volumes, royal 8vo., price £6 6s. 
‘Speaking of entomology, we should place Mr. Morris’ “History of British Moths” at the head. 
It gives a coloured figure of every known British moth, together with dates of appearance, 
localities, description, and food of caterpillar. It forms a handsome work for a library, and will, 
we should hope, lead many to commence the fascinating study of entomology.’—The Record. 
‘We can easily imagine that the announcement of the publication of a “Natural History of 
British Moths’’ will awaken a strong desire in many of our readers to become possessed of so 
desirable a treatise. There are probably some thousands, especially among the younger portion 
of our population, who pay a little attention to entomology, and of these by far the greater 
number devote their energies to the study of the butterflies and moths, the two great groups of 
insects forming the order Lepidoptera of entomologists. To these, if we may judge from the 
recollections of our own early feelings, no present could be more welcome than a good “Natural 
History of British Moths.” The illustrations are exceedingly numerous, occupying no fewer 
than 132 plates, and including a figure of every species, and in some cases of the principal 
varieties. The figures are generally exceedingly well executed and life-like; they are all coloured, 
me will doubtless afford great assistance to many a collector in naming his captures.’—The 
Spectator.
