242 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



A complete set might be worth £10 or £11, but I have not 

 seen one catalogued recently. 



Entomologist's Annual. 20 vols. (1855-1871) ; usually to be 

 obtained at from 20s. to 30s. according to binding and condition. 



Entomologist's Kecord. Vols. 1 to 32 (1890-1921). A set is usually 

 to be bought for £6 or £7. Dr. Chapman's sold for £5. 



Entomologist's Monthly Magazine. Vols. 1 to 57 (1864-1921). 

 Dr. Chapman's copy brought £9 — probably its full value. A 

 few years ago I required a number of volumes to complete my 

 set. These I picked up, bound, for less than . 2s. Qd. per volume. 



Entomologist's Magazine. Edited by Edward Newman. 5 vols. 

 (1832-8) ; quoted at £2 10s. to £3 10s. 



Entomologist's Weekly Intelligencer. Edited by H. T. Stainton ; 

 10 vols. (1856-1861). I have seen this priced as low as 18s. 

 A clean bound copy can usually be obtained for 30s. to 40s. 



Entomological Society of London, Transactions. 69 vols. (1836- 

 1921). A set, 1836-1906, was priced at £60 ; another, 1836- 

 1920, at £75. Dr. Chapman's copy sold for £21, but that of 

 course was a dealer's bargain. The earlier volumes are out 

 of print, and are almost impossible to obtain otherwise than as 

 part of a set. 



Harris, Moses. The Aurelian (1778) and several subsequent inferior 

 editions ; 44 coloured plates. A good copy of the original 

 edition sells for £4 to £5, one of the inferior subsequent editions 

 for from £1 10s. to £3. 



Harris, Moses. An Exposition of English Insects (1782) ; with 

 31 coloured plates. Several editions were issued and are to 

 be had at from 20s. to 40s. according to condition and quality 

 of plates. 



Haworth, A. H. Lepidoptera Britannica (1828), 609 pp. An 

 extremely scarce book, the greater part of some portions of the 

 issue being accidentally burnt ; only a few complete copies are 

 in existence. In 1919 I wanted a copy, and a careful and 

 prolonged inquiry eventually elicited that there were two copies 

 it was possible to purchase. For one of those £5 5s. was asked ; 

 for the other, a much inferior copy, £8. I doubt if one now 

 could be purchased for less than £10. 



Humphreys and West wood. British Butterflies and Moths and 

 their Transformations. 3 vols. (1841-5), and subsequent 

 editions with much inferior plates. The first edition is usually 

 priced at from £4 to £5. The subsequent editions are almost 

 useless, the plates are so inferior. 



Kane, W. F. de V. European Butterflies ; 1 vol. ; 15 uncoloured 

 plates (1885). Admirable in every way, and absolutely essential 

 to all collectors and students of this branch of the subject. 

 Out of print, but can often be had second-hand for 10s. to 12s.
