WILLIAM WATKINS, Entomologist, 



21, PICCADILLY, w. (2 doors from St. James's Hall.) 



EXOTIC LEPIDOPTERA. 



AN inspection of my fine Stock is respectfully solicited. My prices will be found tO' 

 compare favourably with any other dealer (professional or amateur), and are suitable 

 to all buyers, depending entirely upon the condition of the specimens desired ; those 

 slightly rubbed or otherwise damaged being sold at very low price, no matter how scarce. 

 Consignments are being continually received from remote regions, and many hundreds of 

 very scarce as well as new species have passed into the collections of my patrons during 

 past year. I have the pleasure to announce that besides being in communication witlr 

 Resident Collectors in many countries all the world over, I have engaged to collect exclu- 

 sively for me two professional Entomologists, who have proceeded to the Amazon region 

 in South America and to Upper Bunnah respectively, whence they will explore entirely 

 unworked regions, and from the former of whom already very fine Consignments have 

 been received. I am always prepared to buy collections containing desirable species, and 

 to deal liberally, and to pay prompt cash to any amount. 



BRITISH LEPIDOPTERA. 



Very fine specimens of nearly all obtainable species on hand, as well as many larvse 

 and pupffi in the season. 



ENTOMOLOGICAL APPARATUS and CABINETS. 



A good stock of the best manufacture only, including new and improved articles. 



NOMENCLATURE & ARRANGEMENT of COLLECTIONS 



I make a specialite, as I have very extensive REFERENCE COLLECTIONS. 



EXHIBITION of SPECIMENS. 



Encouraged by the unquahfied success and flattering press notices of my first " Fi-ee 

 Exhibition of Tropical Butterflies and Moths," 1 have opened a SECOND FREE 

 EXHIBITION, to which, from time to time, will be added such New and Rare species 

 as pass through my hands. All Entomologists are cordially invited to view these 

 exhibits, whether becoming purchasers or not. 



COLEOPTEEA and other Orders— very fine and rare species, particularly Exotic 

 (freshly imported) — always on Sale. 



COLLECTIONS on APPROVAL (at my own risk) 



will be cheerfully sent. My system of sending such has given great satisfaction, enabling 

 provincial and foreign patrons to inspect specimens, which they would otherwise be 

 unable to. 



General Catalogues sent on receipt of stamp. Special lists of fresh consignments 

 posted, as occasion ofl'ers, on receipt of address.
