418 Description of a Canadian Butterfly, 



gures 5 of them. It is a most useful book to a Canadian Ento- 

 mologist, furnishing him with accurate information regarding the 

 habits, food-plants, seasons, &c, of many species in all orders.

 dopterous Insects known at the time of publication. It is of but 

 little use at the present day, except as a reference in cases of doubt 

 as to the priority of a name.

This will be found a most valuable work to the Canadian stu- 

 dent, and its extremely low price puts it within the reach of 

 every one. It is illustrated with excellent wood-cuts of nearly 

 every genus of British Lepidoptera, and enables a collector in this 

 country to determine the genera of a large portion of our Lepi- 

 pidopterous Insects. It is much to be wished that there existed a 

 similar work on Canadian species.
