THE PRESENT VALUES OF THE 



SPIDOPTI 



ON THE PAL^ARCTIC LEPIDOPTERA. 

 By W. G. Sheldon, F.Z.S., F.E&. 



I0V14 1922 



(Continued from p. 223.) 



Works Published in England. nJV" ^ q£ 



Albin, E. Natural History of English Insects ; illustrated by 100 

 hand-coloured plates and 100 leaves of Text (1720) ; priced 

 at about 30s. 



Barrett, C. G. Lepidoptera of the British Isles ; 11 vols. ; 501 

 coloured plates (1893-1907). This work deals with the whole 

 of the Order up to and including the Tortrices. It has some 

 serious defects, but is indispensable to the student. The 

 price of issue was £34 13s. It is now catalogued at £25. There 

 was also an edition without plates brought out at £6. 



Buckler, W. Larvae of British Butterflies and Moths ; 9 vols. 

 (1885-1899). A Ray Society publication, issued at £9 9s. 

 Still to be obtained, I believe, from the Ray Society, at the 

 price of issue. Copies that come into the market from time 

 to time usually realise the same amount, or thereabouts. This 

 is of course the standard work on the larvae of the British 

 species, and treats of the whole Order to the end of the Phycids. 

 The coloured plates number 164. 



Curtis, J. Illustrations and Descriptions of the Lepidoptera 

 found in Great Britain and Ireland ; 2 vols. ; 193 coloured 

 plates (1862) ; issued at £9 12s. 6d. This is a reproduction 

 of the Lepidoptera of Curtis's great work British Entomology. 

 It can usually be picked up for from £3 to i I . 



Donovan, E. Natural History of British Insects ; Hi vols. : 576 

 coloured plates (1792-1813). The price of this work varies 

 from £6 to £9. There were reproductions issued in which the 

 plates are very inferior, and the lower-priced copies probably 

 refer to these. 



Entomologist, The. Vols. I to L1V (1840 1921). A complete Bel 

 is extremely difficult to obtain, owing to the scarcity of Vol. L 

 (1840). Dr. Chapman's copy, which included aboul a dozen 

 duplicate volumes (1887-1898). fetched £12 LOs. a1 auction.
